A country’s education system is a reflection of its cultural, political and economic circumstances and depends on the current situation, but also on the development goals of society that are built into school curriculum. The situation is almost the same when it comes to local communities. Care for the development of schooling and education is an integral part of development programs that improve various areas of life and creation. Education means the institution, process, content and result of organized and/or random learning in the function of the development of various cognitive skills, as well as the acquisition of various knowledge, skills, abilities and habits.
