Abstract

Consequences of the Act on Organization of Elementary Schools and Education of Elementary School Teachers in Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia from 1888 are discussed in this paper through the analysis of certain legal provisions that regulated the position of teaching staff in elementary schools at the turn of the 20th century within Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. That period was marked by the efforts of teachers to improve material conditions of their life and work that deteriorated significantly after the Act was passed in 1888. Difficulties that occurred after the teachers' acquired rights were abolished had negative effect on elementary education, which resulted in unprofessional classes, dispersion of teaching staff to other professions, and closure of the existing elementary schools. Status of female teaching staff in elementary schools was determined by controversial Article 152 of the new Act, which invaded their privacy, but under the pressures of the public and real needs of schools the article was later corrected.
