Summary/Abstract: One of the main goals of the education system modernisation is to introduce as many activities as possible aimed at developing the necessary skills to meet the challenges and needs of a modern society. In addition to basic literacy skills, young people need to learn how to apply the acquired knowledge in the real-world situations. By examining literacy and evaluating students’ achievements, they want to identify competencies (skills) for performing the educational process, understanding concepts and the ability to apply them in problem solving. A survey was conducted in four primary schools in the Sarajevo Canton in order to determine whether and to what extent students’ educational achievements contribute to their training for future modern life and active participation in the society. The sample includes students of the seventh and eighth grades of the elementary school, their parents, teachers and pedagogues. The purpose of this research was to answer the question of whether the assessment of students’ achievements and the analysis of the conditions in which these achievements are made contribute to the creation of favourable educational conditions in which the intellectual and other capacities of students are developed, thus enabling young people for better solving problems in everyday life situations. The findings obtained by this research oblige all actors of educational policy to reflect on the values of our educational system, with the aim of finding guidelines in preparing young people for facing the challenges of the modern society.
