Abstract

The Member States of the European Union advocate different models of education of national
minorities in their territories. Slovenia guarantees education in the language and script of indigenous
minorities in its territory, as does Romania, while Bulgaria enables minority language learning only
in the form of elective subjects. The Netherlands, on the other hand, gives preference to multicultural
education for all students in its education system. Croatia guarantees national minorities education
in the language and script of the national minority in pre-school education and through three
different models in both primary and secondary education. In order to determine the interest for
this form of education, trends at all three levels of education of national minorities in Croatia were
monitored – measured by the number of students, classes, institutions and teachers involved in
education programs for persons belonging to national minorities. The analysis of the results shows
a growing trend of interest in the pre-school and primary school level of education and a declining
trend of interest in the secondary school level of education.
