Education System In The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland And Its Implications On The Education System In The Republic Of Serbia

Abstract

The harmonisation process of education systems of European countries started in the 1990s. The Anglo-Saxon system developed in the United Kingdom became generally adopted and globally dominant because it proved to be more flexible and effective in the age of globalization and changes in society, economy and labour market. Serbia joined this process in 2003 with the education reform which was supposed to introduce some novelties based on the UK system. The paper reviews those characteristics of the education system in the UK which Serbia adopted as objectives of its reform in order to make it more effective and compatible with other European education systems.
