EUROPEANISATION OF ADULT EDUCATION IN CROATIA

Nikola Baketa

Sažetak

On its way towards the European Union, Croatia was pressured
by the EU conditions and standards. Among other pressures, the adult
education policy was under the influence of Europeanization process (seen as a horizontal transfer and institutionalization of rules, procedures, policy paradigms and norms which are first defined in the EU policy process and then incorporated in the logic of domestic discourse, identity and public policies.
Taking into account the duration of the process of negotiations with
the European Union (2005-2011), the beginning of a change in modernization of adult education, the goals, principles highlighted in the main Croatian documents, sources of funding and lack of other important influences it can be said that Europeanization of certain spheres of adult education is extremly visible (institutionalization of rules, adoption of common principles, the application of rules and principles in public policy). However, there are areas of adult education which are not covered by this process (employability, competitiveness, mobility, social cohesion).
In these areas it is expected that the entrance into the EU and cooperation with other member-states should facilitate changes. The reason they were not achieved by now lies in fact that Croatia was focused on changes related to the legal framework and establishment of institutions and less on the implementation.
