In most countries of the European Community, elementary school teachers are trained in secondary or semi-higher pedagogical educational institutions, which are of two types depending on the length of study: a) four years based on incomplete high school (Denmark, Italy, Norway, etc.) and two years based on full-time secondary education (England, Germany, etc.)
Summary
In the conditions of globalization of economy, science and culture, the solution of many problems of the present is impossible without studying the world experience in different spheres of public life, including in the sphere of education.

The main requirements for professional pedagogical training are reflected in the UNESCO Recommendations on the status of teaching staff at higher education institutions (1997), the Lisbon Accords (1997) on the recognition of the Bologna Process for the creation of a European space in higher education, International Standard Classification of Education – 2011) (Association of Rectors of Pedagogical Universities in Europe, 2019)
