The subject of this research is the role of the school pedagogue in terms of pedagogical school management, and the competences that a pedagogue needs in order to carry out pedagogical management.

The results lead to the conclusion that more work has to be done on motivation, quality changes, encouraging professional development and encouraging team work in schools. The competence profile of a pedagogue is defined through the obtained school pedagogue’s pedagogical management
