Pedagogical practice is the most important and useful part of university studies; it is an integral part of teacher training. Due to the fact that Slovak pupils achieve average to below average results in international studies, and the education of the younger generation is the task of the teacher, the paper deals with practical training of future teachers in Singapore – one of the best education systems in the world. It describes the practical training of students in Singapore, compares it with the practical training of Slovak students, and offers incentives for innovation in the current education system.
