| Abstract | Privatne škole su one škole koje promiču elitizam, znanje, usmjerenost na učenika te se nalaze u gotovo svim europskim i vaneuropskim zemljama. Globalizacija postavlja jako puno zahtjeva pred ljude te je neminovno da će se odraziti i na obrazovanje i školske sustave svih zemalja. Obrazovanje je kao proces visoko na ljestvici prioriteta kod visoko razvijenih zemalja, kao što je to slučaj s Engleskom, a u Hrvatskoj se laganim koracima prepoznaje iako je to nedovoljno gledajući uspjehe drugih zemalja. Bogatiji roditelji nastoje osigurati svojoj djeci kvalitetno obrazovanje te se nerijetko odlučuju za privatne škole koje su u većini društava prepoznate kao simbol kvalitetnog školstva. Isto tako, roditelji nastoje biti motivirani te se uključuju u dobivanje adekvatnih informacija o školi koju će njihovo dijete polaziti, a kasnije, ostvaruju i iznimno dobru i kvalitetnu suradnju s odabranom školom. Što se tiče privatnih škola, one se mogu financirati i od strane države, ali i od roditelja učenika, kao i od raznih donatora i to od fizičkih osoba ili nevladinih organizacija. Također, ostvaruju i školsku autonomiju, što se u javnim školama teško postiže upravo iz razloga što su one pod državnom vlašću. Stoga, privatne škole imaju dosta privilegija za razliku od javnih, ali su one, isto tako, pod državnim prosvjetnim inspektoratom kojeg vodi ministar školstva. Neke od negativnih strana privatnih škola prepoznaju se u tri kategorije: socio-ekonomska stratifikacija, kategorija ulaska u školu te kvaliteta same škole. U skladu s time, imamo i vaučere, tj. školarine koje država najčešće daje roditeljima za školovanje njihove djece u privatnim školama. Neke od prednosti privatnih škola naspram javnih škola jesu: zavidna postignuća na području matematike i čitanja, bolji akademski uspjeh te manja veličina razreda. Učitelji u privatnim školama iskazuju veće zadovoljstvo rada u privatnim nego učitelji u javnim školama. Hrvatska je za razliku od Engleske, slabija u području školskog, pedagoškog i političkog pluralizma, a njezini stanovnici iskazuju pomalo pesimističan stav o privatnom školstvu u narednih deset godina. Potrebno je poduzeti istraživanja koja se dotiču diskriminacije, a koja u budućnosti može imati razorne posljedice na obrazovanje. |
| Abstract (english) | Private schools are those schools that promote elitism, knowledge, focus on students and are found in almost all European and non-European countries. Globalization puts a lot of requests from people and is bound to be reflected in the education and school systems of all countries. Education is a process of high priority for highly developed countries, as is the case of England, while in Croatia, the slow steps are recognized even though it is not enough looking at the successes of other countries. Richer parents seek to give their children a quality education and often opt for private schools that are in most societies recognized as a symbol of quality education. Also, parents tend to be motivated and are included in obtaining adequate information about the school that their child will attend, but later realized the extremely good cooperation with selected schools. As for private schools, they can be financed by the state but also from students' parents, as well as from a variety of donors and of individuals or non-governmental organizations. Also, they exercise school autonomy, which is in the public schools hardly achieved precisely because they are under state authority. Therefore, private schools have a lot of privileges as opposed to public, but they were also under state educational inspectorate led by the Minister of Education. Some of the negative aspects of private schools are recognized in three categories: socio-economic stratification, category of entering the school and the quality of the school. Accordingly, we have vouchers, apropos, tuition which the government usually gives parents for education of their children in private schools. Some of the advantages of private schools versus public schools are: enviable achievement in the field of mathematics and reading, better academic performance and smaller class size. Teachers in private schools showed greater satisfaction working in the private rather than the teachers in public schools. Croatia is in contrast to England, weaker in the area of academic, pedagogical and political pluralism, and its inhabitants are reported somewhat pessimistic attitude about private education in the next ten years. It is necessary to undertake investigations that are related to discrimination, which in the future can have devastating effects on education. |
