Materijalna osnova školovanja u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji 1918-1941.

Abstract

Analiziranje budžetskih ulaganja Ministarstva presvete Kraljevine SHS (Jugoslavije) u školsko-obrazovni sistem od 1918. do 1941. godine čini suštinu ovog rada nastalog na osnovu izvorne arhivske građe i relevantne literature.

The material possibilities of the Yugoslav society had an immediate effect on the extent of the funds invested in education. An analysis of the Ministry of Education budget (1981 - 1941) shows that the funds set apart for schools and education were not sufficient to allow the solution of problems that had accumulated in this field. With time the problems only increased, while those entrusted with planning and realizing the country's education policy continued unsuccessfully in their endeavors to bridge the gap between unrealistic ambitions and modest means. In a country in which a large part of the population was constantly plagued by hunger (up to 30%) the annual funds set aside for schools and education were considered a luxury. At the same time, these funds were insufficient to produce future generations that could be relied on to begin the much-needed processes of modernization and integration.
