Abstract: In its essence, the teaching profession is one of those professions that have high social responsibility. The school and teachers as dominant carriers of educational work in almost 20 years of the lives of children and young people continually affect their development. They participate in the creation of active citizenship, social cohesion, social integration and inclusion in a systematized, planned and organized manner. They participate in the development of each individual and in the development of the society in which they live. Like all other professions, the teaching profession has arisen as a result of the division of labor and its continuous development is influenced by social, economic, technological and scientific factors. Science and practice have shown that the teaching profession is not attractive to young people for many reasons. For these reasons, we conducted a survey about high school students’ views (students from the fourth year) for the teaching profession. Their views on the teaching profession were perceived through the answer to the following questions: why is it good to be a teacher, what high school students mean by the syntagma - good teacher, and why on the other hand they don't want to be teachers. The survey covered 150 students in the fourth year in secondary schools in Macedonia. The research was conducted in the 2018/19 school year. The results of the research served to see if and how much the teaching profession is desired by the future academic citizens of Macedonia.
