Abstract

Tema predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj je već duži niz godina važna tema u javnom diskursu, a sve većim uključivanjem žena na tržište rada se sve više i sve češće adresiraju problemi s kojima se taj sektor suočava. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati probleme u provedbi predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj te ih usporediti s europskim standardom u provedbi istog. Rad nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje jesu li proračuni jedinica lokalne samouprave dostatni za financiranje svih potreba predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja koje su ujedno i propisane Državnim pedagoškim standardom. Analizom proračunskih rashoda 4 jedinice lokalne samouprave približno jednakih gospodarskih i geografskih obilježja te analizom provedenih vrtićkih projekata u te iste 4 jedinice lokalne samouprave preispituje se glavna hipoteza rada da proračuni jedinica lokalne samouprave nisu dostatni za ispunjenje potreba, te da je decentralizacija financiranja ove usluge pogrešan koncept. Osim doprinosa u daljnjem istraživanju u području javne usluge predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, ovaj rad ima posebno važan doprinos u pogledu detektiranja problema decentralizacije koji može biti iskorišten kao podloga za formulaciju novih prijedloga.

Abstract (english)

The topic of preschool education in Croatia has been an important topic in public discourse for a number of years, and with the increasing inclusion of women in the labor market, the problems faced by this sector are being discussed more often. The aim of this paper is to analyze the problems in the implementation of preschool education in Croatia and to compare them with European standards in its implementation. The paper attempts to answer the question of whether the budgets of local self-government units are sufficient to finance all the needs of preschool upbringing and education, which are also prescribed by the State Pedagogical Standard. By analyzing the budget expenditures of 4 local self-government units with approximately equal economic and geographical characteristics, and by analyzing the realized projects of kindergartens in those same 4 local self-government units, the main hypothesis of the work is that the budgets of local self-government units - state units are not sufficient to meet the needs and that the decentralization of financing of this services wrong concept. In addition to contributing to further research on support for the public service of preschool upbringing and education, this paper has a particularly important contribution in terms of detecting the problem of decentralization, which can serve as a basis for formulating new proposals.
