Possibilities of ICT in eficiency monitoring of primary education system (Case study)

In the process of EU accession the Republic of Croatia is endeavouring to meet the new requirements for improving the education system. This presents an opportunity to make certain changes in the education system, by embracing and conducting a process of strategic thinking aimed at enhancing all the segments in the Croatian education system. The ultimate goal is to help create a more efficient and more competitive economy. The majority of human resources should be redirected to knowledge-based jobs, whereby economic growth through innovation might be achieved. Current and future workforce should be trained to change jobs with ease, to manage their work environment, and to participate in life-long learning. Usage of ICT in education is a major strategic feature of quality education, development, and employment possibilities in a competitive market economy. All education systems face the challenges and requirements of the information society, and use ICT to make knowledge, information, and education more accessible, as well as to provide life-long learning and education. Primary education is the basis of the entire education system. Its characteristics will reflect on the efficiency of life-long learning, through which members of a community gain competence to live in a knowledge society and function in a knowledge-based economy. The paper aims to investigate the education system efficiency through the usage of ICT, and is based on empirical research.
