To create an education system at the level of modern and civilized societies. To increase the level of teachers' contribution to education by increasing their innovation and literacy levels. To contribute to the efficient transfer of universal and national values ​​to new generations.

I think the aims include the obvious such as developing teacher's professional knowledge and pedagogic skills, honing teachers' subject knowledge, developing teachers' soft skills, i.e., communication skills, working with others, managing self, others workload and time, etc. However developing affective goals are also important as well as cognitive goals, see this for example:

I believe that training in pedagogy should be privileged. Even so, disciplinary updating should not be neglected.

Having read the answers given above, I agree with most of them. However, you should bear in mind that there are also needs customized to each country's social -cultural- economic-politic context.

Teacher training goals can vary from country to country, but there are some common basic goals that many countries aim to achieve in teacher training centers. These goals generally include:

Content Knowledge: Ensuring that teachers have a strong understanding of the subject matter they will be teaching. This includes both the foundational knowledge and the latest developments in their field.

Pedagogical Skills: Equipping teachers with effective teaching methods, classroom management techniques, and assessment strategies to facilitate student learning.

Cultural Sensitivity: Promoting an understanding of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and learning styles to create an inclusive and equitable learning environment.

Professional Ethics: Instilling a sense of professional ethics and responsibility, including maintaining confidentiality, respecting students' rights, and upholding academic integrity.

Technology Integration: Training teachers to effectively integrate technology into their teaching to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Special Education and Inclusion: Providing skills to support students with special needs and promote inclusive education.

Continuous Professional Development: Encouraging teachers to engage in lifelong learning and stay updated with the latest educational research and practices.

Reflective Practice: Encouraging teachers to reflect on their teaching methods and continuously improve their instructional strategies.

Communication and Collaboration: Enhancing communication and collaboration skills, both with students and colleagues, to create a supportive educational community.

Assessment and Evaluation: Teaching teachers how to design fair and effective assessments to measure student progress and adjust instruction accordingly.

Leadership and Mentoring: Preparing teachers for leadership roles within schools and the broader education system, as well as mentoring new educators.

Adaptability: Equipping teachers with the ability to adapt to changing educational environments and emerging teaching trends.

It's important to note that the specific goals and emphasis on each of these areas can vary depending on a country's educational priorities and the needs of its students and teachers. Teacher training programs should ideally align with the unique context and challenges of each country's education system.

Teachers training is pivotal to equip them with knowledge and skills to meet the diverse needs of their students. This includes understanding various learning styles, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. This is also to emphasize the importance of inclusive education to cater the needs of students of special needs with the application of varied strategies with their varying abilities.

In Mexico ther´s a new educational program named Nueva Escuela Mexicana. The Nueva Escuela Mexicana aims to not only enhance teachers' pedagogical knowledge but also seeks a comprehensive transformation of education in Mexico. Beyond strengthening pedagogical skills, it strives to achieve several key objectives. These include fostering active participation and collaboration within the educational community, ensuring inclusivity and attention to diverse student needs, and promoting the acquisition of life skills. The initiative aims to instill a sense of mexican identity and belonging, leverage Information and Communication Technologies for effective learning, and implement formative and meaningful assessment practices. It also emphasizes continuous professional development for teachers to deliver high-quality education tailored to students' requirements.
