Abstract

The General Law on Education from 1958 is the result of a major school reform that was carried out in Yugoslavia during the 1950s. Thanks to the General Law on Education on the territory of the entire Yugoslav state, the school system was unified, based on a single eight-grade primary school. The great reform of education was a consequence of a number of internal factors, of which unsettled school conditions, low educational level of the population and high representation of younger years in the total population are the most significant. On the other hand, the great school reform of the 1950s was a consequence of the demands for a "new school" set at the end of the 19th century, although they were clearly articulated by the end of World War II and the consequences of the greatest conflict in human history. In the years after the Second World War, the school opened more to society than ever before, becoming an important factor in the process of socialization of individuals and their social promotion. In this way, the school became an important mechanism for the modernization and emancipation of the whole society, especially the sensitive and until then less noticeable social groups such as children. As an integral part of the Yugoslav state, Bosnia and Herzegovina went through all phases in the development of the school system in Yugoslavia in the first fifteen years after the end of the Second World War. The great reform of the school system in Yugoslavia played a particularly important role in the process of emancipation of children as a social group in Bosnia and Herzegovina, given the number of unfavorable circumstances faced by the Bosnian society.
