The aim of the webinar is to discuss with representatives of school principals and other stakeholders what challenges the Czech education system needs to address in this respect, what are the possible solutions and what is the role of the different actors in the education sector. 

The discussion will also focus on how a collaborative culture can be strengthened in schools and education systems and what form of collaborative leadership is desirable and effective for the success of educational institutions.

Exchange of good practices will be an integral part of the webinar. The Czech experience will also be compared with the example of Slovakia and the Slovak education system.
