NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

 

Sources and methods of data collection

 

Data are the result of annual processing of data collected on the Annual Report on Boarding Homes for Pupils and Students (ŠD form), filled in by boarding homes for pupils and students according to the situation as on 31 March of the current school/academic year.

 

Coverage and comparability

 

The statistical survey includes all boarding homes for pupils and students in the Republic of Croatia. Data are comparable to the data from previous years.

 

Definitions and explanations

 

Pupils’ boarding homes are institutions that provide food and lodging for pupils during their study and organise educational work, cultural and other pupils’ activities.

 

As a rule, only regular pupils are entitled to food and lodging and they can get it based on their previous education achievements and economic situation of pupils and their parents, guardians etc.

 

Vacancies in boarding homes may also be filled with students from institutions of higher education and pupils from other schools, seminars and courses, as long as this does not interfere with regular education work and life in a boarding home.

 

Students’ boarding homes are institutions that provide food and lodging for students during their study. Besides accommodation, meals can be provided.

 

Tables 2. and 3. present only counties in which there are boarding homes for students or pupils.

 

Territorial constitution

 

Data on counties are presented according to the Act on Territories of Counties, Towns and Municipalities in the Republic of Croatia (NN, No. 86/06), situation as on 31 December 2008.
