Leading our school in these demanding and challenging times is a serious and complex responsibility, one that would be impossible to achieve without a supportive environment and the cooperation of everyone involved in its life.

The principles I aim to uphold in running the School are competence, professional ethic and a high standard of education and upbringing for our students, while fostering collaboration, respect and mutual appreciation among students and all school staff.

The School of Road Transport is a leading institution in educating professionals in the Transport and Logistics sector. For many years, it has been providing education to students in regular programs as well as adult learners. In my role as Principal, my goal is to further strengthen and improve this long-standing tradition.

To maintain its leading position in the Transport and Logistics sector and its recognition in the global job market, the School of Road Transport must continue to follow industry trends, introduce new programs in the Transport and Logistics sector, participate in school, regional and national competitions, encourage and develop practical skills in simulated conditions, build stronger connections with businesses, and motivate both students and teachers to take part in national and European projects.

In the past year we have worked to build bridges of trust, showing that we are capable of overcoming challenges that disrupted the flow of the school year. During periods of remote learning, when we developed new digital skills, we strove to preserve the human element of education through empathy and connection. We aimed to remain a school where our students feel safe and part of a united class and school community. I hope our students have recognized these efforts, and that together, through every challenge we face, we will emerge as better people – wiser, stronger, and better prepared to face new challenges in life.
