The first postsecondary facility for teacher training in Paraguay dates from 1896, and two normal schools for that purpose existed by 1909. A two-year postsecondary program in teacher training has been required for primary teachers, and an additional two years of specialized training for secondary teachers.

Retraining programs have been available through the Higher Institute of Education and in several regional centers.

Statistics commonly lump teacher training programs in Paraguay with other postsecondary enrollments and activities. Some teacher training occurs within regular university programs, especially for work as university professors in academic specialties.
