International Conference                         DIDACTIC CHALLENGES V                 Leadership and Management in Education

In the conditions of continuous changes that are present in social, cultural, political, global, national, technological, scientific and personal circumstances, leadership and management in the context of upbringing and education plays an important role. Changes in higher education, school and pre-school institutions are reflected through the prism of all the mentioned occurrences.

The aforementioned changes are interpreted differently in society today in the context of all levels of education, and education is sometimes given supernatural properties, considering it a panacea for everything. Guided by world examples of studying and researching historical and contemporary phenomena, we help each other in planning new challenges. Taught by history, we create prerequisites for the improvement and growth of everything that has proven to be more and/or less successful throughout history. With regard to different historical periods, different terms were used in certain contexts: management, leadership, and supervision.

Being the head of a department, ministry, university, faculty, school, early and preschool education institution and even a class department or any educational institution today is a challenging and demanding job that is never just a job, but also a lot more than that. This conference is an opportunity for us to explore and present our ideas, research results, contemporary and historical perspectives from an interdisciplinary aspect, gathered around plenary lectures, presentations in sessions, round tables, posters that will give the academic community, as well as practitioners, new directions in these challenging times.

The conference provides an opportunity for scientists and experts from various fields to question these challenges and share with other participants their theoretical knowledge, research results and practical examples.
