This book will provide infor- mation on and analysis of the development of BiH’s education sector to more effectively invest recovery and development funds in the future and to chronicle the unique story of Bosnian education. The book specifically examines the history of Bosnia and Bosnian education, post-conflict and post-socialist education, the governance structures of the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA), the divided nature of education in BiH, the involvement of international community (IC) in education, teacher education, and higher education reform. The findings offer an informative and descriptive case study for policymakers in the IC. The story of Bosnian Education is important because the issues faced by BiH will be and have been ‘encoun- tered in many countries, nations, and cultures, and various more or less successful solutions have been formed’ (Pasalic-Kreso, 2002, p. 8). a BRief HistoRy of yugoslavia Josip Broz ‘Tito’, born 7 May 1892, led the Yugoslav revolution that led to the creation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
