Viktor Frankl Pädagogische Hochschule Kärnten
With the founding of the Carinthian University of Education in 2007 and the associated upgrading of teacher training courses for compulsory schools to full academic courses with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, an important step was taken towards the professionalization of the teaching profession. The merging of basic, advanced and further training for teachers and people in pedagogical professions under the umbrella of the university ensures a continuum of professionalization on a scientific basis for all teachers.
