PRIVATE SECONDARY EDUCATION IN EX-YU COUNTRIES AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICE IN PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Private education business, as a specific category of private business, has been presented for a long time in the developed countries of the EU. In recent years this type of secondary education has been expanding also the ex-Yu countries. In comparison with the European Union, the management of private secondary schools in Serbia is also burdened with various problems. (No) the compliance of legal framework, somewhat dull strategy of education and outdated national qualifications frameworks imply a great medley in the said sphere of education, both in the public and in the non-public sector. In such situations, management of private schools is necessarily realized in analogous (apparently identical) manner as in public high schools. However, such a management model of private high schools is unacceptable as it severely limits the rights of the founder, as the subject who has invested capital in the school and that by that logic takes care of the development of the school and settle any losses in the business of the school. This paper aims to show the picture of private secondary education in ex-YU countries. There are shown the results of research on management of private secondary schools conducted in Serbia and that of a sample consisting of persons who are directly engaged in private secondary education.
