Sažetak
The second half of the 19th century was a period of reforms and development of a modern public school system in Croatia. According to the liberal and democratic ideas of civil society, the main principles of educational policy are equality of all persons in education, providing literacy to citizens, public administration and professional supervision of schools, standardizing educational materials, educating teachers, standardizing and regulating the school system, and clerical responsibility for religious materials. The 1874 Act on Primary Schools and Preparatory Schools was the first Croatian compulsory education act under which the Croatian language became the teaching language, and the courses in primary schools and the rights and duties of teachers and the relevant administrative authorities and the church were standardized. The Act had its advocates and opponents, but the process of developing a professional state-run school system was unstoppable. The 1874 Act on Primary Schools and Preparatory Schools set a basis for the development of a modern national school system of primary and teacher schools in Croatia.
On the occasion of the 140th anniversary, we are publishing the full text of the 1874 Act on Primary Schools and Preparatory Schools.
