| Summary: | All activities, including education, are underpinned by values. Since its beginnings, education has promoted various values, and at the same time was itself perceived as a value, which is a prerequisite for performing its social function. The crisis of contemporary civilization makes it essentially important for school as an educational institution, and for teachers as its key actors, to demonstrate unequivocally by personal example that they perceive education as a value, not only declaratively but also through their professional activities. The current study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions of education as a value in school culture, specifically, their perceptions of education as a mechanism for promoting employees within an organization and their perceptions of measures and procedures in the organization aimed at facilitating employees' education. Our findings suggest that education is not regarded as an organizational value within the culture of the schools included in our study |
