The present report provides an overview of current practices on teacher training, and how teacher training covers the needs of students with disabilities under the paradigm of inclusive education. The report aims at analysing the situation in the Southern Europe, namely presenting the cases of Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Spain. After a general overview of the gradual change in the provision of special education services into the mainstream educational system at an international level, this report presents the analysis of teacher training/ teacher preparation in Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Spain. It describes the context of teachers' education and provides an overview of the most frequently assessed types of disabilities that are reported in each country. Then, a review of the main teacher training providers is presented, together with a final statement about possibilities of providing teacher training/ teacher preparation in the respective counties. The report should be of interest to the educational community, particularly researchers and practitioners in inclusive education and teacher preparation.
