ISCED-T 2021 30 The differences between national teacher training programmes make it difficult to compare countries and to monitor progress towards national and international goals. The International Standard Classification of Teacher Training Programmes (ISCED-T) offers a solution through the definition of internationally agreed categories for the production of cross-nationally comparable statistics on teacher training. The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the custodian of ISCED, responsible for its development, maintenance, updating and revision. The Institute provides guidance on the effective and consistent use of ISCED for international data collection and analysis. With thanks to the Governments of Canada, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom for funding the UIS core education work.
