Abstract
Teacher education programs play a crucial role in the educational system of a country. This paper describes the teacher education programs offered by a university in New Zealand (NZ) and a university in Vietnam (VN) from the comparative perspective. The description focuses on such issues as learning outcomes, admission criteria, course selection, practicum periods, management, and teacher qualifications. A comparison between the teacher administration system of Vietnam and that of New Zealand is also presented.
