Description	In-service education and training (INSET) is considered a crucial issue for the implementation and institutionalisation of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in educational systems worldwide. A pilot programme for ICT implementation has been running since 1994 in a number of Cypriot primary schools. The provision of INSET in relation to this particular programme appears problematic. Therefore, two studies were independently conducted in 1996 and 1998 to highlight teachers' training background and needs. The second study also aimed to investigate the content and form of ICT INSET provision in terms of the categories of professional development identified by McDougall & Squires (1997). Both studies indicate that the majority of teachers are shown to lack an ICT training background while the approach to training appears piecemeal, focused mostly on off-site training and oriented towards the acquisition of basic computer skills. However, teachers report that they prefer school-based courses, as well as courses that focus on the pedagogical dimension of ICT integration. Based on the outcomes, a national plan for teacher training in ICT is proposed, focusing on coherence, availability, efficiency and diversification
