Abstract
Application of the Law on Folk Schools, which was passed in 1777, through the first Croatian school law in 1874, i.e. the Law on the Organization of Folk Schools and Preparation for Folk Teaching in the Kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia, to the first unified school Law on the Organization of Folk Teaching and education of public teachers in the kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia from 31 October 1888 provided basic instruction in elementary skills such as reading, writing and arithmetics.
The implementation and meaning of these laws is described on the example of the school in Strizivojna, by means of elaborating on the school’s structure, economic conditions of the time that directly affected the number of students included in regular classes, the material position of teachers and the plan and program of folk schools until the end of the First World War.
