Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has a complex education system due to its po-
litical structure, consisting of two entities, Republika Srpska and the Fede-
ration of BiH, as well as the Brčko District. Each of these regions has its own
responsibilities for education based on the constitutions of BiH, the entities,
and the Brčko District Statute.
There are thirteen main institutions responsible for education across BiH:
− Ministry of civil affairs on the state level
− Ministry of Education and Culture in Republika Srpska.
− Ten cantonal ministries of education in the Federation of BiH, each re-
sponsible for their respective canton.
− The Department for Education of the Brčko District.

Republika Srpska operates with a centralized education system, with one
ministry overseeing all educational matters. The Federation of BiH, on the
other hand, has a decentralized system, where each of the ten cantons has
its own ministry of education. The Federal Ministry of Education and Scien-
ce only has a coordinative role in managing education across the cantons.
The Brčko District has its own government structure, with the Department
for Education being one of its departments. The Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH
(MoCA) coordinates educational activities across BiH and is responsible for
defining basic principles and strategies at the international level.
Additionally, BiH has agencies to ensure the quality of education, including
The Agency for Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance,
The Center for Information and Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Edu-
cation., The Agency for Preschool, Primary and Secondary Education.
Coordination bodies such as the Conference of Ministers of Education in
BiH and the Council for General Education have been formed to facilitate
cooperation. The Rectors’ Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina represents
universities and advises on higher education reforms.
In BiH, there are three official languages: Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian,
and each is taught in schools as a mother tongue, reflecting the country’s
diverse population.8
