Abstract
The modernisation of educational systems, characterised by secularisation and democratisation, commenced in most European countries in the second half of the 19th century. It began in Croatia in 1874 when the Law Governing Primary Education was passed. Prompted by the liberal reforms carried out in the Austrian part of the Monarchy, Viceroy Ivan Mažuranić tried to implement the secularisation of education in Croatia after the Law had been passed.
By analysing the implementation of the school reform between the years 1875 and 1885, the author tried to ascertain its effects on education in Slavonia. During this period a partial modernisation of the schooling in Slavonia occurred. Nevertheless, if we compare the schooling in Slavonia with the education in the more developed parts of the Habsburg Monarchy, its quality was still relatively low.
