Sažetak
The Croatian education system from the school year 2020/2021 has had a systematic education of students, teachers, Professional associates, and principals on biosafety and biosecurity. The project was initiated by Elementary School Vijenac from Osijek with the support of the Croatian Society for Biosafety and Biosecurity, the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases “Dr. Fran Mihaljević”, the Croatian Institute of Public Health, the Croatian Academy of Medical Sciences, the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia and the Education and Teacher Training Agency. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has shown the importance of additional education for students, teachers, mentors, professional associates, and principals about the aforementioned problem. The importance of promoting the value of preserving human health and preventing infectious diseases was the main aim for starting this project. The main goals of the project were to familiarize students with the importance of a professional, scientific, global, and personal approach to preventing the spread of infectious diseases; familiar with dangerous agents and their mode of action; adoption of responsible behavior towards one’s own and others’ health; analyzing potential dangers of biothreats and methods of prevention; popularization of science and research in the STEM field (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) through a student research project; developing interest in science; developing a collaborative relationship; development and improvement of digital competences; encouragement of communication and presentation skills and professional training of teachers. The number of students involved in the project over three years is close to 12,000, and a total of 25,095 hours of teaching have been completed in more than 300 schools. Students present their research projects at the Exhibition of Student Works organized by the Education and Teacher Training Agency, and the works are presented every year at the Annual exhibition organized by the Croatian Society for Biosafety and Biosecurity.
