ROLE OF LOCAL SELF- GOVERNMENT IN PLANNING AND PROMOTING EDUCATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE TOWN OF OSIJEK

Današnji sustav obrazovanja u fokus ne stavlja samog subjekta obrazovanja na način da se sustav prilagođava pojedincu, već se od pojedinca očekuje da se prilagodi sustavu. Prilikom provođenja odgojno-obrazovnog procesa nužno je razviti svijest o odgovornosti koju bilo koji sudionik samog procesa ima, a ishod odnosno ''cilj'' samog procesa mora biti plemenit i human. Prilikom provedbe programa naglasak treba biti na individualnosti potreba, sposobnosti i afiniteta koje subjekt obrazovanja ima, a položaj na kojem se osoba zadužena za prenošenje znanja nalazi, ne smije nikako biti zloupotrebljivan. Sam pojam autoriteta ne smije biti definiran kao 'moć' u kontekstu superiornosti i veće važnosti nad drugim ''bićem''. Svrha odgoja i obrazovanja treba u sebi sadržavati altruističke motive prema onima koji se obrazuju, a sam proces treba biti ispunjen uzajamnim poštivanjem i uvažavanjem. Kroz sam proces, svaka osoba treba biti u mogućnosti izraziti vlastito mišljenje, bez straha ili srama od ismijavanja ili osude, s naglaskom na razvoj kritičkog mišljenja pojedinca, a svaka osoba koja je odgovorna za prenošenje znanja mora biti svjesna posljedica koje mogu nastati ukoliko se sam položaj tih osoba koristi iz krivih razloga i na krivi način. Lokalna samouprava u svom samoupravnom djelokrugu obavlja poslove lokalnog značaja kojima neposredno ostvaruje potrebe građana i to osobito poslove koji se odnose na uređenje naselja i stanovanje, prostorno i urbanističko planiranje, komunalne djelatnosti, brigu o djeci, socijalnu skrb, primarnu zdravstvenu zaštitu, odgoj i osnovno obrazovanje i tako dalje.Today's education system does not focus on the subject of education in a way that the system is adapted to the individual, but an individual is expected to adapt to the system. When carrying out an educational process it is necessary to develop the awareness of the responsibility of any participant in the process itself, and the outcome or the "goal" of the process itself must be noble and humane. When implementing the program, emphasis should be placed on the individuality of the needs, abilities and affinities of the subject of education, and the position on which the person responsible for transferring knowledge lies, must not be misused.The notion of authority itself must not be defined as 'power' in the context of superiority and of greater importance than the other 'being'. The purpose of education and upbringing should include altruistic motives for those who are educated, and the process itself should be fulfilled by mutual respect and appreciation. Throughout the process, each person should be able to express their own opinion without fear or shame of mockery or condemnation, with the emphasis on the development of critical thinking of anindividual, and every person responsible for knowledge transfer must be aware of the consequences that may arise if the position of these people is used for the wrong reasons and in the wrong way. Local self – government in its self – rule area performs activities of local importance directly fulfilling the needs of citizens, especially those related to settlement planning and housing, physical and urban planning, utility activities, childcare, social welfare, primary health care, education etc
