The present paper analyses the position of the class teacher in a selected vocational secondary school. The paper consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part defines the class teacher and his/her competences in selected areas. We also define classroom management and the activities that the class teacher performs in class management. The empirical part analyses the responses of the surveyed secondary vocational school students attending the third year. The pupils’ responses were collected through a pre-prepared questionnaire. The purpose of the exploratory part is to create a characterization of the current perception of the class teacher by his/her pupils and related suggestions for changes in the class teacher’s behaviour based on the suggestions from his/her pupils for improving the perception of the class teacher by his/her pupils. The aim of this paper is to analyse the perception of the class teacher in a selected vocational secondary school through the lens of the interviewed pupils of the selected class and to find out whether the class teacher can contribute to the education of the pupils in the intentions of the concept of a sustainable society. Presented text is a part of scientific project solving KEGA 004-UCM-4/2022 with the name Promoting Health and Well Being through inclusive education in Higher Education.
