Abstract

School is a specific institution which is accountable to society, the state and educational service customers, education clientele. The main weight of responsibility for good functioning and school results lay on the teachers, in addition to the leadership. The aim of the paper is to highlight the requirements of leading teaching staff—Heads and Deputy Heads— which are placed on teachers entering the educational process. Based on the qualitative survey conducted by using semi-structured interview we show some aspects that play an important role in recruiting new teachers for primary education in schools. It turns out that the requirements are aimed not only at professional qualities, but also at personality and character requirements.
