The article discusses the topic of advanced training programs for heads of educational institutions in Russia, Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands and other countries in the context of requirements set by professional standards. It has been revealed that the functional composition of these requirements in different countries largely coincides, but Russian institutions do not yet offer a full range of topics of programs for the professional development of managers, aimed at the formation of a full functional manager, reflected in professional standards. In comparison with many foreign countries in the Russian Federation higher requirements to the education of the head of the school, which in our country should have higher education in the pedagogical and administrative sphere, and requires at least five years’ experience in teaching and/or management positions in educational institutions.
