Teacher training, economic costs and pedagogical effectiveness

the modern educational system is undergoing a period of profound transformation related to digitalization, the introduction of new standards, changing pedagogical paradigms and the growing public demand for the quality of educational outcomes. In this context, the issue of the training of teaching staff, on whose professionalism the success of the implementation of the educational policy of the state largely depends, is of particular relevance. The effectiveness of the training of future teachers requires a comprehensive review, including both pedagogical effectiveness and the economic component of this process. One of the key objectives of this study is to identify the relationship between the economic costs of teacher training and the level of their professional effectiveness in the context of the functioning of educational institutions at various levels. The issue of investment in education is traditionally perceived primarily as a factor in creating infrastructure, but practice shows that in order to train an effective teacher, it is necessary to take into account a wider range of costs: from teaching fees and internships to professional development programs, digital content and support mechanisms for young professionals. This article is aimed at substantiating the need for a systematic approach to planning and implementing the costs of training teachers. Based on the analysis of open statistical data, regional programs and opinions of experts in the field of education, the author reveals that there is a relationship between the volume of investments and the qualitative performance of graduates of pedagogical universities, but it is not linear. After reaching a certain level of financial investment, a further increase in investment does not lead to an equivalent increase in pedagogical effectiveness. This means that the key factor is not so much the amount of investments, but rather a competent resource allocation strategy.
