Katarina Spehnjak ; Institute of Contemporary History, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

From 1945 to 1948, the Communist Party of Croatia conducted educational and cultural policy through a centralized, ideological system that was in part a system of socialist transformation. The aspiration to full literacy, education of the masses, and antireligiousity characterized educational policy; the concept of »national enlightenment« unified these directives. In addition to educational goals based on a real lack of national education, the politics of »national enlightenment« was primarily pragmatic because it was connected with achieving a desired political consciousness, changing the traditional structure of the village, and legitimazing the new government.
