From the history of Croatian secondary school education in the period from 1918-1941

U članku se daje pregled srednjoškolskog obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj u razdoblju od 1918. do 1940. godine, u okviru školske legislative Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (od 1929. Kraljevine Jugoslavije). Prikazano je djelovanje građanskih škola, gimnazija, učiteljskih i ostalih stručnih škola. Unificiranju organizacijske strukture školskog sustava prethodilo je unificiranje nastavnih planova i programa, pri čemu su postale razvidne nedemokratske i unitarističke tendencije novoosnovane državne zajednice. Povoljnije prosvjetne prilike nastupit će u vrijeme Banovine Hrvatske (1939. – 1940.), kada su prosvjetni poslovi bili u nadležnosti banske uprave. Rad se nadalje bavi problematikom odgoja srednjoškolske mladeži u međuratnom razdoblju, eksplicirajući teme o kojima se pisalo u pedagoškim časopisima, kao što su: odnos učenika i profesora, disciplina, učenička lektira i slično. Dijelovi nekih zanimljivijih tekstova preneseni su u integralnom obliku i(li) istaknuti.The article provides an overview of secondary school education in Croatia in the period from 1918 till 1941, within the school legislation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (since 1929, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia).
