Summary/Abstract: The contribution presents the results from a pilot study and preliminary research surveying the opinions of head teachers of schools and students of school management at the Faculty of Education on continuity of pre-primary and primary education. The data were collected by the method of group interviews and focus groups. The presented results show that head teachers of schools feel the need to grant continuity of pre-primary and primary education but their opinions on strategies of achieving it vary. They lack the support in the form of systematic in-service teacher training and the support from an expert leader.
