Also teacher has to suit for essential remits of contemporary society. But the changes of education don’t come soon like we wish. Although there is devoted a big attention for pedagogical professional remit in Lithuania, but teachers face that qualification raise just for economical motions.

Conclusions of the article. Period modern society teachers must inevitably change themselves and a new, modern society is characterized by professional attitudes as a qualified teacher – a man, able to change and willing to lifelong learning and active participation in the process of professionalization.To summarize the scientific literature and of the results we can state that teachers understand the new professional requirements, but often ignored by the social, economic and psychological reasons. Many respondents acknowledges and agrees that it is very important for almost all of the requirements for the teacher, but most of the respondents noted that the managerial skills of their work is not important, as is not so important to know foreign languages and be able to operate a computer. Teachers know the ways in which they are able to keep their business professionalism. Teacher knowledge of the subject taught is self-evident, but they are not relevant to the refresher and expandability. Teacher professional development related to the needs of higher qualification category, but the procedure for the grant of qualifications is not always satisfied. A large part of the respondents drew attention to the fact that certification is only formal, jitteriness improvement process. Often teachers irresponsibly look at their performance. Analysis of the data revealed that the teachers’ negative attitude towards the certification system is largely based on mistrust as a teacher evaluators objectivity. The study encourages the conclusion that teacher professional development should be quite a lot of time, but they alone have to set development priorities and follow them exactly. Development and success of the change at the same time, school-specific changes. It is also possible to state that teacher professional development as one of the professionalization of the elements are not fully effective and sufficient. [From the publication]
