Srednja Škola Bartola Kašića

What Srednja Škola Bartola Kašića does

Srednja Škola Bartola Kašića Grubišno Polje is a Croatian public secondary school operating under the Ministry of Science and Education, founded in 1964 and located in the rural municipality of Grubišno Polje, Bjelovarsko-bilogorska County. It is the sole provider of secondary education in its catchment area and serves primary-school graduates from Grubišno Polje and surrounding municipalities (Veliki Grđevac, Nova Rača, Hercegovac). The institution operates a two-tier educational model: a four-year academic General Gymnasium (Opća gimnazija) preparing students for university, and six three-year vocational programs covering Computer Technician, Auto Mechatronics, Mechanical Installation Technician, Cook, Waiter, and Agricultural Entrepreneur tracks. Supporting infrastructure includes practical training workshops, a school library with online catalog, a student cooperative (Kockavica), and adult-education programs in automotive, plumbing, and beekeeping.

The school is funded through the Croatian national education budget with additional municipal support from the City of Grubišno Polje and periodic European Union grants through the Erasmus+ program. Enrollment stood at 177 students in 2018/19, a significant decline from 239 students in 2005/2006, reflecting sustained demographic contraction in the surrounding area. The school mitigates this through three documented Erasmus+ mobility projects (Czech Republic EUR 23,532, Ireland EUR 51,470, Spain EUR 50,122) and an active multi-channel presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). The 8 listed administrative/leadership staff are augmented by an unstated teaching cohort. Governance is exercised by a ravnateljica (currently Kristina Vrbicki, with a leadership competition published in September 2025 signaling an upcoming transition) and a school board, with real estate comprising the main 1974 building plus separated workshop facilities for woodworking and metalworking.
