The paper analyses the following normative and strategic and development documents: the National Curriculum Framework for Preschool and General Compulsory and Secondary Education (2010), National Programme of Education for Human Rights and Democratic Citizenship (1996), Croatian National Education Standard (2006), Education Sector Development Plan 2005- 2010 (2005), Law on Education in Primary and Secondary Schools (2008), National Programme for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights from 2008 to 2011 (2007), Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 to December 2006 on key competences for lifelong learning (2006).
The content analysis reveals that the development of civic competences of students in the education system is anticipated by the fundamental European and Croatian legal and normative documents, but not enough by development and strategic documents that would contribute to determining the accuracy, coherence and signposts for educational practice.
