9 The project builds on the work of national Open Society Foundations and ESP supported projects in South East Europe aiming to strengthen the role of teachers in ensuring education inclusion and quality in the Western Balkan countries. It is the result of a collaborative effort by education specialists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia with the support of international experts in the field and the CEP project is increasingly powerful evidence that teachers play a crucial role in providing child-centered, quality, inclusive education that will prepare each child to the best of his/her potential for life and work in modern society.

10 However, there is a disconnect between the aspirations of teacher education policies and actual research has shown that teachers are not adequately educated, supported and encouraged to develop the skills , knowledge, sense of vocation and mutual inspiration to pursue social justice through education (Panti , Closs & Ivo evi , 2011). There is no strong teacher voice in education policy development or school governance and teachers initiatives are seldom recognized (Panti & eki , 2012).
