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), which are 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 covers boarding homes for pupils and students located on the territory of 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, Nos 86/06, 125/06, 16/07, 95/08, 46/10, 145/10, 37/13, 44/13, 45/13 and 110/15) with the situation as on 31 December 2021.
