Summary/Abstract: This article aims to identify the important pedagogical and legal category of "student welfare" within the context of formally defined teaching activities. The following questions are the basis of the research problem: 1) What is the content of the category of "student welfare" in light of the regulations governing teachers' professional activities (duties)? a) Which teaching activities are formally related to this category? b) Of these, which take into account the "good of the student/students" in individual and/or collective terms? The analysis focuses on texts of national legal acts (i.e. laws and regulations in education law) that govern the activities of teachers and take into account the category of "the good of the student/students". A document content analysis method was used. The results indicate that several areas of teachers' activities are formally linked to the category of "student welfare", clarifying its content and demonstrating its overarching role in teachers' professional activities. These areas relate to health and safety, individual development, activity, and the formation of desirable values and attitudes, as well as the monitoring of educational obligations.
