Sažetak
The theoretical part of the paper contextualizes the issue of collaboration of schools and
external stakeholders by analysing the current policy documents and presenting the underlying
theoretical assumptions about the phenomenon of collaboration between schools and
external stakeholders and the positions and roles of relevant stakeholders with whom schools
establish collaborative relationships. The empirical part of the paper presents the results of
research aimed to examine the perceptions of teachers, university teachers and educational
policy makers about the quality and level of (established) collaboration of schools and teachers
with stakeholders from the external environment – particularly with academic institutions
that participate in the initial teacher education and educational policy makers. The study consisted
of the three groups of examinees – teachers of primary and secondary schools, teachers
and collaborators at the universities participating in the program of teacher education and
educational policy makers at different locations and levels - national, local and school level.
Most of the examinees estimated that collaboration between schools and external stakeholders
is unsatisfactory and they offered suggestions for its improvement, primarily through its
formalization and systematization based on active dialogue, mutual listening, respect and
achievement of common goals.
