Abstract

 

Social changes have an enormous impact on education systems. Changes in society and the rapid technological development in recent decades have necessitated the reform of educational system. The social role of teachers, as well as their responsibilities and obligations have significantly altered. The scope of work and responsibilities of teachers have become greater, but their status in society is much lower. Increasing responsibility and obligations cause frustration and stress for teachers. Their university education must be adapted to tailor to the new requirements and their obligations. Permanent education during their work must function as training, so that they can deal with the new duties and responsibilities that they face in modern times.

 

Keywords: Social change; Responsibility; Duties; Status; Continuing education; Skills challenges.
