Abstract
Twenty-first century is declared as the century of knowledge.
Development of the society rises new demands and criteria when selecting desirable, competitive and high quality staff.
This work was designed by focusing on lifelong teacher’s education because they are by their vocation among the major builders and maintainers of the knowledge society. For the same purpose, a survey was conducted among primary school teachers in seven primary schools in Međimurje and among the fifth year students
of primary education in Teacher Faculty Department in Čakovec.
The aim of this paper is to stimulate the thinking and awareness that efforts on paper cannot effectively provide quality of life to anyone in society. Emphasis is placed on the importance of action in which those who are investing in their professional growth and development, in this case teachers, can and should be adequately compensated.
