Sažetak

Confessional schools are primarily those schools that are financed by religious associations, religious communities or spiritual orders. This paper analyses public confessional primary schools (Jewish, Evangelic and Serbian) but also Catholic and Serbian secondary schools (grammar schools and teachers’ training schools). Although such confessional schools existed also during the 19th century, and even earlier than that, this paper focuses on a certain period which covers the topic of this gathering. The schools and the relevant legislation, as well as teaching plans (curricula) and programs are related to the territory of the former Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia and later on to the territory of Civil Croatia (Banska Hrvatska). The paper analyses the confessional schools that existed in the period from the passing of the Second School Act in 1888 and of the Public Schools Act in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929 until the beginning of the Second World War. The School Act of 1888, which was also applicable in the annexed Croatian Military Border (Vojna Krajina), defined and strengthened the status of private confessional schools. By Section 96 of the above mentioned Act (1888), the religious communities and spiritual orders were allowed to establish and maintain confessional primary schools at their own expense. Pursuant to the Act of May 14, 1887, the Serbs belonging to the Uniate church could “establish and maintain their autonomous primary schools and teachers’ training schools at their own expense, in accordance with the above confirmed decrees regarding Serbian public schools”. According to Section 99 of the same Act the subjects in confessional and Serbian autonomous primary schools and teachers’ training schools had to be the same as in general primary schools and teachers’ training schools, and pursuant to Section 100 of the same Act the teachers and lecturers at confessional and Serbian autonomous primary schools and teachers’ training schools had to have the same degree of education as the teachers and lecturers at general primary schools and regional teachers’ training schools. However, the teachers at confessional schools were of the same confession. The books, schoolbooks and manuals used at those schools had to be approved by the regional government in accordance with Section 101 and those schools were considered public as long as they adhered to the provisions of the above mentioned Act. The regional government supervised those schools through their special deputies and county and regional schools supervisors.
