School System in Daruvar until 1992

Summary/Abstract: School system in Daruvar is only slightly younger than the present Daruvar, which was gradually built in the area surrounding the local manor house erected 1771–1777. The purpose of the earliest elementary schools was to teach children how to read, write and calculate, as well as to provide them with some basic knowledge necessary for everyday life. Parallel with the development of economy increased the need for professionals who would dispose of solid theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for following the then current trends. The Daruvar Trade School, which was established in 1887, belongs to the oldest schools of this type in Croatia. As early as after World War One, Daruvar was listed among developed urban settlements. As a result thereof, Daruvar developed a need for non-production professions in addition to production trades. Hence, after World War Two, first a secondary school, and subsequently a trade (economy) school were established there. Both schools became the springboard for many professions for which students could later be additionally educated elsewhere. Throughout the history of school education in Daruvar, the problem regarding school premises and facilities has ever since been present. Nevertheless, the situation today is considerably better than it was in its early days.
