E-school development and quality of management and leadership in educational systems in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina

In this paper, the quality of management and leadership in educational systems in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, approximated by the assessment of primary and secondary school principals, is analyzed in terms of ‘e-school’ development, i.e. application of contemporary information & communication technologies (ICTs) in the educational environment. Authors critically (re)examine the educational practice in the wider region of South East Europe (SEE), which presupposes that projects, related to introduction of ICTs into educational systems, have an inherent potential to improve the effectiveness of schools and the entire educational systems. The empirical analysis is limited to the assessment of a smaller segment of the described problem, related to the potential influence of ICTs to management and leadership in selected schools in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nevertheless, it is believed that the obtained results provide solid grounds for the assessment of ICT-based quality of education in the SEE region.
