Abstract
School principals do not perform the profession/function for which they have been educated for. They have attained their qualification to be the managers in education in many different ways and detours. Nowadays, permanent and lifelong learning helps them the most in overcoming the current problems at work. A life long learning, as a leading educational principle, requires essentially new approach to education, instruction, training, professional growth and development, as well as to education and raising in general. In principle, the life-long learning rests on the universal essence of knowledge and skills, which should facilitate active participation in a contemporary society for all the people. From the point of view of active mobility and participation, the lifelong learning is attained through development of generic or existential skills, such as: feeling for the team work, mastering skills and learning dispositions, permanent reinforcement of professional competencies and skills, taking over responsibility in further professional work and progress. An essential issue analyzed in the paper is the following: What is a role of the school principal in the educational institutions in all the social turmoil, applying to both essential and existential changes? Are there different offers of forms and ways of training, which correspond to the needs and learning opportunities for the school principals? Learning styles, specific conditions for learning, working conditions of the school principals represent central ideas related to the development of their competencies.
