Croatian educational politics in the context of European Union: analysis of the indicators of educational politics

Abstract

Diplomski rad bavi se razvojem obrazovne politike u Republici Hrvatskoj s naglaskom na razdoblje od pristupanja Hrvatske Europskoj uniji do danas. Cilj rada je opisati i analizirati pokazatelje obrazovne politike kako bi se dokazalo da Hrvatska, u odnosu na druge zemlje Europske unije, prilično zaostaje u području obrazovne politike s obzirom na pokazatelje razvijenosti obrazovanja. Za testiranje hipoteze napravljena je analiza pokazatelja stanja obrazovanja u Republici Hrvatskoj i skupi 28 država članica Europske unije. Analizom službenih podataka potvrđeno je da Hrvatska, u odnosu na druge zemlje Europske unije, zaostaje u području obrazovne politike s obzirom na pokazatelje razvijenosti obrazovanja. Rad započinje teorijskim dijelom koji se proteže na 31 stranicu, dok je analiza podataka napisana na 21 stranicu i potkrijepljena s 12 grafikona.Graduate work deals with the development of educational policy in the Republic of Croatia, with an emphasis on the period of Croatian accession to the European Union to date.
