Teacher education in Croatia: Recent developments in teacher education (2005-2010)

In the last few years, the initial teacher education (ITE) system in Croatia has been radically reformed due to the implementation of the Bologna process in higher education. Whereas the education of each of these categories differed in many ways in the past, the recent trend seems to be the clustering of initial teacher education around university programmes. Some changes could be observed within in-service teacher education as well, because of the establishment of new agencies in the educational sector responsible for the coordination of continuing professional development of teachers. It is planned that all university programmes in Croatia should be re-evaluated in the next five years. This process opens possibilities for the further improvement of teacher education curricula based on recent experiences and „lessons learned“ from the first five-year period of the Bologna reform. On the other hand, continuous professional development requires a much more systematic approach in its development and better coordination of all stakeholders in the field.
