In the course of our research some theoretical methods, including a comparative analysis, the method of evaluation and systematization of the used materials on the selected theme were used. The research found out that both Hong Kong and Singapore have some similar features in their policy direction and in the use of mechanisms aimed at modernization and development of the teacher training systems, including high standards for selecting candidates for teaching positions, a mandatory university degree (a bachelor’s or higher degree), mentorship, focus on lifelong development and further training, the procedure of poorly-performing teachers’ dropout, a combination of traditional values with the best world practices in teacher training, etc. The governments’ increased attention to the matter of training of highly competent teachers, as well as to retaining excellent teachers secures Hong Kong and Singapore’s world-leading positions in school education. Leveraging the experience of these countries can be helpful to the development of a proper, object-oriented and consistent national strategy of the teacher selection and training system enhancement in Russia.
