Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of leaders and leadership in the educational context, particularly the leadership role of
primary school teachers. Albeit we do not doubt that leadership is an essential teacher quality, a claim which is elaborated in this
paper, nevertheless, it is beneficial to discuss the problem taking into consideration scientifically proven facts, as follows: the role
of the teacher impacts the success/failure of any reform in the educational sector, the democratization of the educational
environment, the success of the students, the professional development of teachers and their self-confirmation. This paper
presents our analyses of the legal and sub-legal legislation regulating primary school education in the Republic of Macedonia.
The purpose of the analyses is to scan the legislation for requirements which apply to leaders in the educational context. In order
to confirm our hypothesis that teachers play a key role in the development process of school organization, we have analyzed the
development plans and other pedagogical documentation of twenty-four primary schools.
