NOTES ON METHODOLOGY
Sources and methods of data collection
Data are the result of statistical data processing collected through annual reports filled in by basic schools at the beginning and the end of each school year.
Statistical sheet for basic schools (Š-O/KP form), Statistical sheet for basic schools for children and youth with developmental disabilities (Š-O-SP/KP form), Statistical sheet for basic art schools (Š-O-U/KP form) and Statistical sheet for basic schools for adults (Š-O-OD/K form) are filled in by basic schools, that is, educational institutions that provide basic education.
Coverage and comparability
Statistical survey covers basic schools on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Data are comparable to the data from the previous school years.
Definitions and explanations
Considering purpose, basic education in the educational system in the Republic of Croatia is organised as regular education and special education.
Regular education is compulsory basic education conducted using regular educational programmes. Education of disabled children and youth is conducted using specialised programmes created to meet their special needs.
Special education includes basic music schools, dance schools and basic education of adults.
School is considered any group of pupils following classes of a particular type and stage according to a uniform education plan and programme at a particular location.
Basic education lasts for at least eight years and, as a rule, it is compulsory for all children between the age of six and fifteen. Its purpose is to enable pupils to achieve knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and habits necessary for living and work or for further education. Aims and tasks of basic education are realised according to established educational plans and programmes.
Education of disabled children and youth is carried out in special schools and basic schools in special training-educational groups and class units within the school.
The number of basic schools for disabled children and youth equals the number of institutions for education of disabled children and youth enlarged by the number of schools comprising special departments for disabled pupils.
Basic music and dance schools prepare children for the continuation of education in secondary art schools of the same kind. The pupils are obliged to concurrently attend a regular basic school.
Adult education is aimed at providing education for adults who have not obtained an adequate education in the course of regular schooling.
Basic education of adults is carried out in basic schools and other competent institutions (public open universities).
This kind of education can be obtained by either regular attending of school or by taking exams.
Data on pupils learning foreign languages refer to all pupils learning language as 1st and 2nd foreign language and for that reason, the number is larger than the real number of pupils.
For basic schools, the number of teachers working in one or more school units (satellite schools and departments) is given. The number of teachers and assistants shown through the full-time equivalent would correspond to the actual number of physical persons.
Data on teachers and assistants cover persons employed on contractual agreement, persons employed on working contract and persons employed on author’s contract.
