Sažetak
Upon the expiry of the five years’ period through which the National Strategy for Entrepreneurial Learning 2010-2014 was in effect, and the same period since the National Curriculum Framework for pre-school education and the compulsory primary and secondary school education has been applied, we conducted a survey on the representative sample of 271 school principals, aimed to estimate the achievements in the field of entrepreneurial learning in Croatian primary schools so far. As to achievements at the schools’ level, the questionnaire estimated the motivation level of teachers, entrepreneurial climate in schools, systematic implementation of curricular and extracurricular activities and the achieved progress in entrepreneurial teaching, whilst at the pupils’ level it tended to establish to which extent systematic development of personality traits related to entrepreneurship was realized, the same as the acquirement of basic economic, market and financial knowledge, the way of thinking and knowledge for starting entrepreneurial ventures, and understanding of the possible importance of entrepreneurial standpoints for their own life and professional development. The paper itself tends to check if there are differences in the established achievements in the entrepreneurial learning
with regard to the size of school, size of place and region in which the particular school operates. No differences between the groups of schools of different size have been found, but statistically considerable differences have been established in particular achievements in the field of entrepreneurial learning both at the schools’ and the pupils’ level, depending on the area of Croatia and size of place where the school is located. Entrepreneurial learning, in addition to the attempts of the school itself, is considerably dependable on the external influence and its surroundings, so that further development and implementation of curriculum should take into account / overcome the mentioned differences, all with the purpose to ensure equal educational conditions for all pupils in the Republic of Croatia.
