Abstract:British approaches to in-service, as opposed to pre-service, teacher education, have developed since the early 19605, successively directing emphasis to teacher responsibility, the need for a continuum of professional education, and the need for school-focused support. The British experience in in-service education has probably made a more immediate impact on African Common wealth countries than any other recent movement in Western education. In Zimbabwe this has involved in particular members of the University Faculty of Education who, pending the creation of a formal structure of in-service education, have attempted to concentrate their available resources on two crucial areas of support: the training of specialist manpower to fulfil key leadership roles within the teaching profession; and assistance to teachers in confronting the problems of change from a racially segregated to a national system of education.
