This paper analyzes the main implications of the Development Plan of Education (DPE) for teacher training. The research used bibliographic and documentary sources and was based on historical and dialectical materialism concepts. The teacher training education proposal presented by the DPE is neo pragmatist, since it reinforces the importance of searching for instruments that are useful to the immediate demands of the teaching profession and it doesn't contribute to developing a solid and broad education. The fact that it gives priority to teacher training education rather than to proper financial investments as the solution for the negative results registered by the Basic Education Development Index (Ideb) brings out the given priority to the subjective conditions in the resolution of educational problems.
