The article examines issues relating to forming relevant competences of university teachers. Teacher competences adequate to the requirements of today are a key factor of the progress of higher education in the context of the changing paradigm of societal development with its unpredictable and dynamic character. International practices and new goals are analyzed that require effective answers to the ever-aggravating challenges of contemporary development addressing which will contribute to maintaining and consolidating the position of universities in the modern world. The article offers recommendations to enhance in-service and pre-service teacher training in the context of the new challenges, including the growing share of online teaching and learning. The conclusions and recommendations can be used for policy decisions and for training purposes.
