The aim of this article is to provide an overview on the training of Albanian teachers thus far and the implications for future teacher training policy in Albania. Recently, in pre-university education a new curriculum was introduced to replace the old one. This initiative had to be based on specific research to reveal the problems of the old curriculum. In addition, the current state of human and infrastructure resources was ignored in making this decision. This move has caused a fair amount of chaos regarding the training of teachers in order for them to respond to the requirements of the new curriculum and student achievement. In this respect, this paper provides important insight regarding. a) What are the teachers` perceptions of trainings provided by public and private organizations and the universities. b). According to the legal framework it is obligatory for each individual teacher to obtain one credit in teacher training. The issues is: Is this enough or is it necessary to provide teachers with complementary training modules. c) What are the criteria which determine the training modules in which teachers are to participate. d) Have the previous training seminars changed the quality of teaching and learning. e) Are Albanian teachers trained to teach in ways that will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills that citizens of today`s society need. It is hoped that the findings of this paper will help policy makers to make informed choices and establish a well thought out strategy.
