Basic and Derived Elements of an Educational System

Basic and Derived Elements of an Educational System

Alic, Amel

Education and the existence of an educational system are compulsory elements of every modern society. The problems of making a unique and a defined educational system, a clear and an identifiable educational policy but also the problems of inequality in education have been the subject of different researches in the social sciences, especially in pedagogy for a long time. By accepting the definition which describes education as a systematical transmission of knowledge, skills and values, the same importance must be given to the questions of institutional organization, systematical and generational aspect of the process. Although every man should have equal rights to education, equal chances are not available to all, and therefore perceptible problems that cause inequality occur. The reasons are not only related to different social and cultural heritage – unequal initial positions are to be related to the nature of the educational system and the goals of the educational policy.
