Abstract
The educational policy of the interwar Yugoslav state mostly coincided with the periodization of political development from 1918 to 1941 (1918-1929, 1929- 1939 and 1939-1941). Increased concern for educational issues in Croatia was possible only with the change of state policy in 1939. Banovina of Croatia was given the opportunity to run certain autonomous businesses, and education was among them. The basic principles of the educational policy of the Banovina of Croatia sought to satisfy the Croatian and other nations as peoples and cultural individualities, and to introduce the peasantry into the educational circle. The priority of the educational policy was the opening of primary schools so that finally primary school education would cover all children. The prerequisite for the spread of public education was the education of teachers and professors who knew the people and peasant culture well, and the same was also true for all officials who communicated with the people. The article presents the characteristics of the educational policy of Banovina of Croatia in the local area of Hrvatsko zagorje.
