Abstract
The Single European Act, and the removal of tariff barriers in the European Community by 1 January 1992, have implications for teacher education throughout the European Community, since there will be the potential for increased job mobility for young people as well as for teachers. In this short paper, prepared for the annual conference of the University Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET), the author argues that there are several pressures for those in teacher education to recognise the changes likely to result from 1992. On the basis of a recent survey he shows that the majority of English university departments of education have hardly begun to recognise this, and goes on to suggest a number of practical and organisational changes that will be necessary if English universities are to compete with their European counterparts as well as with polytechnics and colleges of higher education.
