Balancing school autonomy and head teachers’ accountability for schools in Slovakia
Апстракт
The paper presents an analysis of the changes which have been introduced
into the legislation on education in Slovakia. The paper, in its first part, presents an
analysis of the transformation process which the system of education in Slovakia
has undergone during the period of the last three decades. Within this process a
great number of responsibilities have passed from the central authorities to local
municipalities and individual schools. The changed conditions and the increased
autonomy of schools meant that schools had to face new tasks and challenges. The
new demands required new professional competences and calls for the professionalization
of school leaders became part of a wider movement for school reforms. How
the professional development of the school leaders is currently solved in Slovakia,
what kind of education primary and secondary school head teachers are obliged
to undergo, who are the main providers of this education, how it is provided, and
how it is stru...ctured as to its content are described in the second part of the paper.
The last part of the paper presents main results of research aimed at an evaluation
of the scope of autonomy given to schools and powers given to head teachers from
the point of view of an optimal amount of this autonomy in relation to actual needs
and requirements of the head teachers.
