O temeljima modernoga školstva u Habsburškoj Monarhiji iHrvatskoj
On foundations of modern public education in the Habsburg Monarchy and in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: This essay compares the Outline of the Basic Principles of Public Education in Austria (Entwurf der Grundzüge des öffentlichen Unterrichtswesens in Österreich) from 1848 and the Elements of Basic Regulations of Public Education in Croatia and Slavonia (Osnovè temeljnih pravilah javnoga obučavanja za Hrvatsku i Slavoniu) from 1849. It discusses social and political circumstances in which these two legislative proposals were written, and then examines their influence on the development of public education in Habsburg Monarchy and Croatian lands. The legislative proposal on the basic principles of public education in Austria established foundations for the development of modern public education at all levels in lands ruled by the Habsburg dynasty. It was also the model for the Croatian legislative proposal on educational reform. While political circumstances prevented its realization, this early attempt towards developing a legislative basis for Croatian educational system greatly advanced modernization of Croatian public education.
