The interdependence of economic development and the education system

Međuovisnost između gospodarskog razvoja i sustava obrazovanja postala je predmetom brojnih javnih rasprava. Neupitno je da je razvojni potencijal obrazovanja velik te da raste do te mjere da se smatra jednom od glavnih poluga u napretku gospodarstva. Hrvatska ima društveno gospodarski cilj, a to je integriranje u Europsku Uniju i razvoj gospodarstva temeljenog na obrazovanju. Potražnja za obrazovanjem u društvu raste onda kada gospodarstvo raste i kada populacija postaje sve bogatija. Bogate su se države nekada borile za teritorije, prirodne resurse i izvore bogatstva, a danas su se okrenule prema intelektualnim resursima, kao ključnom faktoru gospodarskog razvitka. Za napredak gospodarskog razvoja važno je da se osvijeste građani o nužnosti ulaganja u obrazovanje i unapređenje svojih vlastitih vještina.The interdependence between economic development and the education system has become the subject of numerous public hearings. It is unquestionable that the development potential of education is big and that it is growing to such an extent that it is considered as one of the main pillars in the economy's progress. Croatia has a socio-economic goal, which is integration into the European Union and achieving an education-based economy. Demand for education in society is growing when the economy is growing and when the population becomes increasingly richer. Rich states once fought for territories, natural resources and resources of wealth, but today they turned into intellectual resources as a key factor for economic development. For the advancement of economic development, it is important to educate citizens about the necessity of investing in education and enhancing their own skills
