Abstract

In its essence, the teaching profession is one of those
professions that have high social responsibility. The
school and teachers as dominant carriers of educational
work in almost 20 years of the lives of children and
young people continually affect their development.
They participate in the creation of active citizenship,
social cohesion, social integration and inclusion in a
systematized, planned and organized manner. They
participate in the development of each individual and in
the development of the society in which they live.
Like all other professions, the teaching profession has
arisen as a result of the division of labor and its
continuous development is influenced by social,
economic, technological and scientific factors. Science
and practice have shown that the teaching profession is
not attractive to young people for many reasons. For
these reasons, we conducted a survey about high school
students’ views (students from the fourth year) for the
teaching profession. Their views on the teaching
profession were perceived through the answer to the
following questions: why is it good to be a teacher, what
high school students mean by the syntagma - good
teacher, and why on the other hand they don't want to be
teachers. The survey covered 150 students in the fourth
year in secondary schools in Macedonia. The research
was conducted in the 2018/19 school year. The results
of the research served to see if and how much the
teaching profession is desired by the future academic
citizens of Macedonia.
