Summary
It highlights the significant role of school with regard to the social and learning life of children, but their acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills so that they will be able to participate in a democratic society (European Parliament, 2008). A decade earlier (1998) OECD had already stressed the effort of states to modernize their educational systems so that education can contribute to their economic development, creating a new educational reality. The European Commission for Education in a relative document notes that the ability of teachers to offer proper education to all their students, to create an atmosphere in which everybody can survive and to eliminate violent behavior is closely related to the conditions under which they work, the existing means of support, the number of students in a school, the cooperation with their families, and the received social support. Among the promoted changes concerning the changes in the methods of learning and teaching, the teacher’s role, experience, knowledge, motivation and organization are necessary for the successful restructuring of educational systems. -The continuous renewal of knowledge and the acquisition of new skills are indispensable in keeping his/her professional status and the promotion of his/her flexibility (OECD, 1998)
