abstract = "The paper deals with major aspects of educational leadership in Serbia.
First, the legislative framework is presented which, in the last several years, has considerably
focused on the roles and obligations of principals, as well as their formal
training and licensing. Then, the findings of the research on principals’ needs, problems
and perspectives on leadership since 2000 are described. This section shows
that principals are aware of the multitude of competencies that they need to have in
order to professionally fulfill their duties, but that they also believe that many problems
hamper them in their jobs: insufficient school funding, teacher employment
policies, inconsistent legislation, poor selection procedures of principals, inadequate
support from higher administrative levels and so on. Subsequently, the paper
gives an overview of seminars, trainings and academic programs that comprise the
current offering of professional development opportunities for principals. Among
them, the master program developed within the Tempus project and the official
state program developed by the Institute for the Improvement of Education are
described in more detail. Finally, the authors present a set of recommendations for
the improvement of educational leadership in Serbia.",
