Abstract:
The last two decades of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century witnessed a remarkable quickening and expansion of efforts to reform Croatian schools. It is almost certain in schools well into the 21st century. The term school reform often means very different things to different people because they use various theories in trying to understand and explain issues such as education, schools as organizations, and human behavior. The school reform generally connotes planned efforts by those external to the school to cause changes, or restructuring, to occur within the school (Empirical
rational strategies; Power-coercive strategies; Organizational self-renewal strategies).
