Sažetak
Private schools and private education preceded public education in the Republic of Croatia, as well as in most countries of the western world. Croatia’s past is abundant in school pluralism. The school laws of 1874 and 1888 laid down the legal foundations for development of private schools. They determined the requirements for their formation and operation. According to the Second School Law, public schools were established by state or municipal authorities as necessary and at their expense, while private and confessional schools were financed by individuals or religious communities. In the late 19th century, the school system flourished, including primary education private schools. They established numerous private schools: private common schools with Croatian as the teaching language, private common schools with German, private common schools with Italian, private common schools with Hungarian as the teaching language, private person schools and confessional schools.
During the time Croatia was part of the SFRY, the school pluralism became extinct. At the beginning of independence, an era of new development of school pluralism began. In 2009, 11 primary education private schools operated in the Republic of Croatia, three of which were based on alternative pedagogical concepts. The paper demonstrates the development of school pluralism in primary education from the late 19th century to the early 21st century.
