Sažetak
The subject of the paper is secondary schooling in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, with an emphasis on secondary trade schooling. The paper offers a presentation of the historical background of secondary schooling, and – in the empirical part – of the results of the study of the state of and the issues related to secondary schooling in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County on a sample of 13 regular secondary schools (number of students in general and according to type of school/trade; grade point average and choice of school type; presence of trade schooling programmes in five educational areas; students’ interest in individual educational programmes; adjusting educational programmes to strategic economic areas within the Bjelovar-Bilogora County). The results of the empirical study have shown a tendency towards a decrease not only in the number of students, but also in the students’ interest in enrolling in three-year trade schooling programmes. Major influence of the grade point average on the choice of secondary school type has been established. The paper indicates the need of adjusting the existing secondary trade-school educational programmes to the development of strategic economic areas. Adjusting the educational programmes to the needs of the economy creates a hard knot between education and economy. Though untying this knot is neither an easy nor a simple process, the solution thereto may be sought in the laws of market relations, the concept of lifelong learning, and the autonomy of secondary schools that are the place of changing the modern scientific and technological paradigm.
