Teachers with creative potential and a school providing optimal conditions forthe creative functioning of teachers and students are necessary to achieve this goal.

Teachers point to disinformation,constant changes that make planning impossible, salary inadequate to workload, lack of time tosolve students' problems, limited scope of influence on school’s policy, unrealistic requirements,poor organisational conditions, students’ behaviour, parents’ expectations, lack of support, etc.The research provides valuable implications to use in practice.
