Published results of the research on the competent institutions' attitudes on social inequalities in the Croatian educational system

The new publication 'Obrazovne nejednakosti u Hrvatskoj: izazovi i potrebe iz perspektive dionika sustava obrazovanja' [Educational Inequalities in Croatia: Challenges and Needs from the Perspective of Educational System Stakeholders] brings results of the research conducted by the Thematic Network Lifelong Education Accessible to All. The research involved representatives of ministries, state institutions, municipal authorities, educational institutions and professional associations. This is the first Croatian inquiry addressing educational inequalities in a lifelong perspective, from pre-schools and schools to higer education institutions and other adult learning institutions.
