Abstract

The establishment of an effective system of teachers’ professional development is a question on which practitioners, scientists, and politicians in all countries in the world discuss, regardless of their development level. Obtaining conditions for the realization of high-quality professional development of teachers is a responsibility of each country. In fact, the state taking care of the professional development of its own teaching staff, takes care of the quality of education that the children/students receive, and thus takes care of the quality of the knowledge that future citizens in the society will have.
The paper presents an overview of the results obtained from the project "Professional Development of Teachers in the Republic of Macedonia - Conditions and Perspectives", which was realized within the Faculty of Education Sciences, supported by the University "Goce Delchev" Stip. The paper included 398 teachers from 28 primary and secondary schools in Macedonia.
Professional development of teachers was considered from the following aspects: initial education as a starting point for inclusion in school life; mentoring as a form of professional development; organization and realization of professional development.
The results show differences in professional development between elementary school teachers and subject teachers and differences in professional development between teachers with different work experience. It is necessary to work on the improvement of the process of professional development of teachers in order to maintain and improve the quality of education in general.
