FINANCIAL DECENTRALIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN CROATIA

Abstract

Ljudski kapital kao jedan od najznačajnijih svjetskih razvojnih resursa, nesumnjivo je osnovna pretpostavka za ulazak u društvo znanja. Kvaliteta ljudskog kapitala determinirana je kvalitetom obrazovnog sustava koji omogućava stjecanje svih potrebnih znanja, vještina i kompetencija što se zahtijevaju na tržištu rada. Kvalitetni obrazovni sustav mora se temeljiti na kvalitetnom financiranju. Jedan od problema koji se pri tome pojavljuje je disproporcija između obrazovnih potreba i mogućnosti njihovog financiranja. Taj problem, zbog svoje opće nazočnosti u svim zemljama, pokazuje da je riječ o krizi financiranja obrazovanja. Suočene s brojnim teškim posljedicama te krize, zemlje poduzimaju brojne mjere kojih ukupnost čini bit reforma obrazovnog procesa. Reformske mjere usmjerene na financiranje javnog obrazovanja usmjeravaju se prema aktiviranju tržišnog mehanizma i decentralizaciji financiranja. Iznimka u tom smislu nije ni Hrvatska, gdje je kriza financiranja obrazovanja također izražena i gdje se također poduzimaju brojne reformske mjere da bi se iz te krize izišlo. U ovom radu razmatramo one mjere kojima se nastoji decentralizirati financiranje obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj.Abstract Human resource, one of the most important development resources of the world, is undoubtedly a basic precondition for entering the society of knowledge. The quality of human knowledge is determined by the quality of the educational system that enables knowledge, skill and competence acquisition required in the labor market. Quality educational system must be based on the quality financing. One of the problems that emerge is a disproportion between the educational needs and the possibilities of their financing. This problem is present in all countries, thus it shows that it is about educational financing crisis. Encountered with numerous severe consequences of this crisis, the countries undertake different measures, which basically represent the essence of the educational process reform. Public education financing reform measures are directed towards activating trade mechanism and financing decentralization. Croatia is not the exception where the education financing crisis is also pronounced and where numerous reform measures have been undertaken in order to surpass the crisis. This paper examines the measures which are directed towards the decentralization of education financing in Croatia
