Sažetak
Education for entrepreneurship is a fairly new concept that became widely known in modern educational arena throughout publishing The key competences for lifelong learning – A European Reference Framework (2007). Croatia’s accession to EU membership requires introduction and harmonization with new concepts in educational system, as well as for their successive evaluation and monitoring with standardized procedures. The overall idea of more organized institutional bridges building between education and labor market thrives to develop, manage and asses the production of targeted knowledge, its practical application and related skills. According to the Croatian National Curriculum Framework (2011) Entrepreneurship is one of the six new cross-curricular subjects. The most developed countries have recognized the importance of stimulating entrepreneurial climate and policy framing that supports entrepreneurial learning in the national context. Solution for different types of social crises, and present economy crisis, is traditionally sought in education as a dynamo of long-term positive change in societies. Hence, one can wonder where in Habermas’ critical theory of capitalism does marriage of education and economy belongs to. Are these national and international educational policies an example of political intention to emancipate disempowered individuals and groups within an egalitarian society – or just the opposite, perpetuation of a system which keeps individuals and groups (dis)empowered and suppresses change within capitalistic elites? All this imposes additional social pressure on a system that has a role to educate and raise, nurture and direct youth, and at the end – foster the national economies at the same time.
