In developing countries, teacher training programs face numerous challenges, including resource constraints, outdated pedagogical approaches, and limited access to professional development opportunities. Digital tools provide scalable and cost-effective solutions in overcoming these barriers by providing innovative solutions for enhancing teacher education. This paper explores the role of digital tools in improving teacher training programs in developing countries, examining both the opportunities and challenges associated with their implementation. The research reviews various digital platforms and technologies, such as online training modules, virtual classrooms, and mobile applications, highlighting their impact on teachers' skills development, access to resources, and professional growth. By providing scalable, cost-effective solutions, digital tools can bridge gaps in education systems that are often hampered by infrastructural and financial limitations. However, the adoption of these tools also requires addressing challenges such as inadequate technological infrastructure, digital illiteracy, and resistance to change. This paper presents a framework for integrating digital tools into teacher training programs, considering the socio-economic context of developing countries. The aim is to demonstrate that with strategic implementation, digital tools can play a pivotal role in enhancing the effectiveness and reach of teacher training programs, ultimately leading to better educational outcomes. The research also outlines recommendations for policymakers, educators, and technology developers to facilitate the successful incorporation of digital tools in teacher professional development.
