The egg or the hen is a reference to the causality dilemma that emerges from the expression: “what comes first, the egg or the hen?” One comes across a similar dilemma concerning the crisis of the teaching profession in the country: would it be a consequence of the crisis in teacher education courses, considering the lack of demand for these courses together with the insufficient number of professionals holding a diploma, or would this be the real cause of the problems in the teacher education courses? This article presents different points of view in order to highlight the multiple factors related to the teaching profession crisis as well as some ways to avoid this dilemma.

Keywords : Teacher Training; Teacher Education Degrees; Crisis.
