Sažetak
The title educator itself suggests a profession, namely an occupation of a person teaching someone something in a skillful way. Social reputation and the status of the educator profession are defi ned by the society. This article focuses on the analysis of pre-school educator occupation in a contemporary educational institution absed on the study of scientifi c literature and a questionnaire conducted on a sample of 69 fi rst-year students of pre-school and homeroom teacher education. Due to the specifi c function of this occupation,
special attention was payed to the level of education and social status, professional advancement as well as the characteristics of the educator profession. As the social status of educators, as well as of other professionals included in the system of children and youth education, implies the improvement of the conditions for activities in education as well as of the economic and social position of all educational workers on the education vertical, it can be expected from the society to solve these problems in a quality way, too.
