Abstract
A good education is highly valued in society. The process of education begins in an
institution of general education and its efficiency largely contributes to the success in
the learner’s further periods of life. There have been many problems with the
administration of Primary schools lately. On the one hand, teachers are not content with
their salary, increasing workload, shortage of teaching aids, etc. (Tohver, 2004; Kivine,
2004;
JOemaa,2004). On the other hand, they are required to be highly professional and
committed in order to teach pupils better so that they would show better results at the
national examinations. The ranking of schools based on the results of national
examinations and public discussions on which school is better and which is worse,
increases the tension even more. School administrators are therefore in a complicated
position and it is difficult to find a way out.
