 There are two widely spread forms of learning: Teacher-centred learning (TCL) and Student-centred learning (SCL) as shown in figure 2. It is not proven which of these two forms should be broadly employed to enhance rail skills development and improve the quality of rail higher education provision. \\

 The quality of learning outcome is strongly dependant on both the form of learning and the role of the teacher within it. For different teaching and learning stances, the teacher's role can be different. The teacher can either act as Director, or as Leading Learner, or as Nurturer or as Facilitator. Every one of these roles require different function, method and approach (figure 4).
