Abstract: The social dynamics visible at the national level compel the educational system to prioritize investment in human resources, specifically in the continuous development of teaching staff. To meet contemporary educational challenges, teachers are increasingly opting for lifelong learning. Over the past 30 years—and particularly in the most recent decade—the concept of lifelong learning has been strategically and functionally enriched in educational debates. Our empirical research investigated principals' perspectives on the contribution of lifelong learning to strengthening the competence profile of teachers. In the study, 9 principals from pre-university education were interviewed, with professional experience (seniority as principals) ranging from 2 to 13 years; 67% were from urban schools and 33% from rural schools.
