    Education in Croatia

    Luka Lakušić, 8.e


    Children start Pre-school at the age of five or six. When they are six or seven they start
    elementary school. There are two levels of education in elementary schools; lower classes
    and upper classes. The age of students in lower classes is between six and ten and in upper
    classes between eleven and fifteen. At the age of fifteen they start High school. We have
    three types of High schools; grammar, craft and vocational. Students spend three or four
    years there. When students are nineteen, they can continue their education at the university
    or professional programmes. Education is free.

    The age of students in upper classes is between eleven and fifteen. Students don’t wear
    uniforms. They don’t have lunch break. They have one 15-minutes break in the middle of
    school day and 5-minutes break after every lesson. There are two school shifts. Students go
    to school in the morning or in the afternoon. Morning lessons start at 8 am and finish at 1
    pm. Afternoon lessons start at 2 pm and finish at 7 pm. Students have a lot of homework and
    they usually do their homework after school.

    Students have compulsory subjects and electives. Compulsory subjects are Croatian, English,
    Math, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, Biology, PE, Workshop, Art and Music.
    Electives are RE, ICT and languages (German, Italian and French). Students can choose
    different extra curricular activities such as Astronomy, Photo group, Sports, Pottery, Video
    group and Drama classes.

    When students finish university they have Graduation day. On Graduation day they wear a
    gown and a cap and they receive their diplomas. When they finish High school they have the
    prom. They wear smart clothes and they eat and dance to celebrate the end of High school.
    During school year, there are many events such as Bread day, School day and Party night.

    I think that we have too many compulsory subjects and we get a lot of homework. Teachers
    are very good and schools are well equipped. I would like to change that lessons are always
    in the morning.
