Europska dimenzija u obrazovanju: Izazovi i perspektive hrvatskoga odgojno-obrazovnog sustava
European dimension in education: Challenges and perspectives of the Croatian educational system

Summary/Abstract: The European Union is, above all, a community of values in which all its full members have committed themselves to accepting the highest standards in the field of fundamental freedoms, human rights and democracy. By proclaiming common European values as the most important factor in the coexistence of its citizens, the topic of the European dimension of education was raised in the public, scientific and professional discourse of the member states of the European Union. The concept of the European level of education encompasses the preservation of national interests, the integrity and autonomy of school systems, but also the search for common content and values that support European unity and European identity in the context of a common European education policy. In this context, the Croatian educational system is expected to provide education in which the general development of the individual, viewed from a European point of view, will be directed towards acquiring the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to face the challenges of co-existence in a multicultural Europe, and training young people to preserve their own identity and cultural heritage, while at the same time accepting civic responsibility for building a European democratic society.
