Mogućnost kritike Bolonjskog sustava obrazovanja u Bosni i Hercegovini iz perspektive održivoga razvoja
The Possibility of Criticism of the Bologna Education System in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Perspective of Sustainable Development

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the social and environmental consequences of economic commodity, commercialization, and fragmentation of the Bologna education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main thesis of the paper states that in order to speak about the global, regional, and local importance of maintaining Bosnia and Herzegovina and its immanent diversity, we are to speak on the basis of qualitative analysis, and not only with the help of econometric analysis which is integrated in the Bologna system of defining the very concept of education, university, quality, and sustainability. The central auto-referential problem is that the Bologna system – in the language itself – is subordinated to the dominant discourse of ‘knowledge economy’ and described in terms of economy (e.g. efficiency, effectiveness, stakeholders, satisfaction, etc. The fact which is completely ignored is that about 50% of unemployed persons are young people, of whom the majority has completed high school and college). Therefore, we advocate for a different criteria of sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would recognize the specific history and the present and future sustainable environment of this state.
