Abstract

Pandemija COVID-19 u relativno kratkom vremenu uvukla se u sve sfere ljudskog
života ne izostavivši pritom ni obrazovni sustav. Obrazovanje je temeljno ljudsko
pravo i najvažniji čimbenik u sprječavanju siromaštva i socijalne isključenosti, no
unatoč tome velik broj zemalja još uvijek nije ispunio zahtjev za osiguravanjem
jednakog pristupa obrazovanju. Epidemiološka mjera zatvaranja školskih ustanova s
ciljem sprječavanja širenja bolesti taj je zahtjev dodatno otežala obzirom da se
nastava morala početi odvijati na daljinu. Pri tome je jedan od glavnih problema
predstavljao digitalni jaz uslijed kojeg neki učenici nemaju pristup internetu i
računalnoj opremi ili pak nemaju razvijene odgovarajuće digitalne vještine. Shodno
tome, u ovom radu prikazane su specifičnosti utjecaja koronavirusa na pristup svim
razinama obrazovanja. Radi dobivanja detaljnijeg uvida, opisane su i osobitosti
odabranih europskih (Hrvatska, Španjolska, Italija, Finska) i izvaneuropskih (S.A.D,
Indija, Supsaharska Afrika) zemalja po pitanju omogućavanja pristupa obrazovanju
u vremenu pandemije pri čemu su identificirane velike razlike u stupnju uspješnosti.
Na kraju rada iznesene su preporuke za poboljšanje pristupa obrazovanju ukoliko se
situacija s koronavirusom nastavi, a koje mogu poslužiti i kao nit vodilja za daljnju
primjenu digitalizacije u sustavu obrazovanja.

Abstract (english)

The COVID-19 pandemic has entered all spheres of human life in a relatively short
time, including the education system. Education is a fundamental right and the most
important factor in preventing poverty and social exclusion but many countries have
not yet met the requirement to ensure equal access to education. The epidemiological
measure of closing school facilities in order to prevent the spread of the virus made
this requirement even more difficult because of the switch to online learning. One of
the main problems was the digital divide, due to which some students do not have
access to the Internet and computer equipment or do not have appropriate digital
skills. Therefore, this paper presents the specifics of the impact of coronavirus on
access to all levels of education. In order to gain a more detailed insight, the
characteristics of selected European (Croatia, Spain, Italy, Finland) and nonEuropean (U.S.A, India, Sub-Saharan Africa) countries in terms of providing access
to education during the pandemic are shown and large differences in performance
have been identified. At the end of the paper, recommendations for improving access
to education are made in case the coronavirus situation continues but they could also
serve as a guiding thread for the further application of digitalization in the education
system.
