School principals faced a heavy administrative burden and complicated communication with educational authorities, state authorities and parents. They also need a middle link in school management that would allow them to spend more time on educational leadership. International studies have shown that the Czech school system does not devote sufficient resources to educational leadership, yet it is one of the essential activities of school principals as it has a significant impact on the quality of teaching and the educational outcomes of schools.
Upskilling means lifelong learning in order to retain employees and create new jobs in a dynamically evolving global environment. The need for lifelong learning is often downplayed, even though it is absolutely critical to the Czech economy and its ability to compete long-term. In order to remain competitive on the job market, we need soft skills as much as technical and digital knowledge.
