One of the most important problems of physics teaching at the lower secondary schools in the Czech Republic is the lack of good, or at least qualified, teachers. However, it is the physics teacher at the lower secondary school who fundamentally influences the attitude of pupils towards physics. We present the results of the survey conducted in 2015. The survey showed that more than one third of physics teachers at the lower secondary schools has not passed any kind of physics teachers training program. Moreover we have tested the attitudes of teachers towards the physics tasks.
