Abstract
If education is to equip students with the basic knowledge to teach, then in-service education is to enable teachers to raise their teaching competence and to cope with changing demands to keep abreast of the times. Hence, in-service training is both a difficult and challenging task. This study is based on the teacher training programmes that are currently managed by New Era College of Malaysia. Over time, Chinese secondary education in Malaysia has evolved a system for teacher education to meet local requirements and to develop a model of in-service training in collaboration with foreign universities. This study highlights the current scene in teacher training in Chinese education and to examine its major characteristics, constraints, issues and emerging trends. The cumulative experience acquired from these training programmes will provide useful reference and guidance on the practical aspects of implementation and management of teacher training in Malaysia and even in other countries of Southeast Asia.
