Leadership refers to a specific type of human activity, during which a group of people starts working effectively and resultatively.

Therefore, the current reasearch aims at analysing the peculiarities of the school leader‘s communicative competence. According to the scientific sources, communicative competence of a school leader is of primary importance. Moreover, the communicative competence helps to create a student-friendly atmosphere.

Nevertheless, the research findings show that the matter-of-fact and businesslike communication predominates at school. According to the school teachers and students, school leaders do not pay enough attention to their personal needs. The research respondents claim that a closer contact with a school leader would not only improve their relationship, but also make teachers distribute home assignments more... [to full text]

Development of independence and responsibility in primary education constitutes an important issue both in respect of a maturing person, and from the State point of view. Only people who are capable of independent thinking, have a free soul, but are aware of responsibility and its significance, can create wellbeing not only for themselves, but for society as well. In this process a special role must be granted to pedagogue, school, family, and other factors of educational process. The analysis has showed that many pupils fail to understand the close link between independence and responsibility, and the pedagogues lack motivation to form the concept of independence and responsibility in primary education. Public spirit means that society educates and strengthens the spirit of freedom and responsibility. Only conscious and free citizens with responsibility for the fate of their country and entire world can jointly create the common good. Therefore, the formation of freedom and responsibility should be emphasised in primary education.
