Sažetak
This paper presents results of a large pilot project among Croa- tian primary and secondary schools focused on digital maturity of schools. It explores relationships between indicators that influence the overall digital ma- turity level of a school with the main aim to identify the main drivers of digital maturity. It also reveals key steps in the development of the Framework for Digitally Mature Schools in Croatia and the instrument for assessing digital ma- turity of schools. The instrument evaluation involved 151 primary and second- ary schools in Croatia that were assessed against maturity levels. Descriptive statistics is used to identify and explain correlations between 38 indicators of digital maturity of schools. Results obtained from the instrument show that 50 percent of schools in Croatia are in the initial phase of maturity and 43 percent of them are e-enabled which in respect to 5 different maturity levels corre- sponds to levels 2 and 3 respectively. An on-line system developed for this pur- pose, besides it features the instrument itself and enables schools to benchmark between themselves, identifies critical indicators for each school that require improvement in order for school to make progress against maturity level.
