Abstract
The paper deals with three aspects of teaching political education: — the problems of teaching social sciences in Croatia regarding their content, methods and instruction; — the quality of teaching according to the ISO 9000 norm; and — the study of the quality of the programme of teaching politics and economy to secondary school pupils. The methods of work chosen have made it possible to give an account of the contemporary developments in the world in the field of methodology and instruction regarding this subject. All suggested solutions and models have not simply been copied, but adapted to the existing conditions of secondary education in Croatia. The intention is to activate fresh forces within Croatian school system that will, taking into account the realities of our situation, find new education paths, aware that the sole way out is the quality of learning and the complete satisfaction of pupils, parents and the society. This approach does not seek unobtainable material resources, but demands much effort and numerous changes in the policies and the work of all those directly or indirectly involved in teaching.
