It examines political and ideological confrontations over the contents, goals, and aims of education since 1990, as well as efforts to re-define contemporary Croatian identity through education—from introducing nationalist themes and values at the beginning of the 1990s to more recent attempts to inject socially conservative views. The paper also analyzes the main issues arisen from the last proposal of the comprehensive curricular reform that started in 2015. It focuses on the debates over the proposal of the history curriculum, as well as professional, political and public expectations of its aims and contents. It shows how attempts to change the paradigm of history teaching—from a school subject that transfers “one truth” and “proper interpretations” of the past to a subject that perceives history as a critical engagement with the past—reflect views of Croatian historians about the public role of history.

Both wars were (and still are) considered as a starting point for the emergence of the (new) state, socialist Yugoslavia in 1945 and present-day Croatia at the beginning of the 1990s. Since 1945, both topics have been used as a means of political legitimization and as an instrument to promote patriotism. The 1941-1945 war was the topic of particular significance in communist Yugoslavia because it was meant to provide the basis of legitimacy for the Yugo-slav Communist regime. During the 1990s, the teaching of this topic underwent dramatic modifications – the manner in which this entire question was treated served as a strong impetus for historical revisionism. In the last couple of years another war has come into the focus of debates about the content of school’s history education: the 1991-1995 war, which is called in C...
