Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of empirical research into Schoolmasters’ work assessment. Research examined the process of the school directors’ elections in 223 schools. The resigning directors evaluated their schools and their past job, while the newly appointed directors evaluated their school and presented their plans. Schoolmasters were satisfied with the professionalism of their teachers and their own, and also with the level of education, but they were far from satisfied with the school’s educational function, in that inertness and defensiveness were recognized entities. Despite the fact that the directors were satisfied with their subordinates, every third leader did say that it would be necessary to develop a culture of teaching and look at the school’s internal transformation. The research also pointed out that the previous cycles of the directors’ appointments had failed to see developments being made.
