Summary/Abstract: The 1990s witnessed a change in the paradigm of school management in the Czech Republic. The accent was shifted to the inside of schools; from then on, in an externally delimited scope, they could do whatever they considered useful. Teachers obtained more liberty in the creation of the curriculum and primary attention was on the main process: pupils’ learning. Greater autonomy for schools and teachers generated larger responsibilities, other procedures and, in many cases, more work, creativity and inventiveness. Teachers faced the need to acquire new knowledge and skills as required by work in transforming schools and society. Therefore, learning became an issue for both pupils and teachers.
