The Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) research and development Programme was launched at a conference in South Africa in August 2005.
The setting up of the TESSA consortium is the result of over a decade of joint research and development activities focused on the challenge of teacher education. To bring every child into school millions of extra teachers are needed. Millions of existing teachers also need to upgrade their qualifications. High achieving learners at all levels in the school system need quality teaching. The TESSA consortium is an ambitious international initiative to help all forms of teacher education to expand and develop in ways fit for the twenty-first century.

MOFET ITEC (International Teacher Educators Community), an International Content Portal in teacher education, seeks to improve the flow of pedagogical knowledge and research on teacher education by helping researchers and teacher educators cope and keep abreast with the wealth of publications in the field.
The portal's uniqueness resides in the coordinated processes of collecting, filtering, processing and distributing relevant research and non-research papers on education and teacher education within "one integrative reservoir". In addition, portal users are invited to make use of the site's reaction system and share their knowledge and insights regarding the contents presented with other users.
The Mauritius Institute of Education receives the support of MOFET in developing and running of an Induction Programme for its newly appointed Academic staff and seeks to further consolidate this collaboration.
