Abstract

The need for education has always been and will continue to be essential in a society. The learning process begins at an early age and never ends. Elementary school is the main
institution in which pupils acquire basic knowledge, skills, habits, abilities and a value system;
it is an institution which sets the foundation for further intellectual, physical, social and moral
development. Each country develops its own educational system, its educational policies, institutional and extra-institutional forms of education. In that process, we rely on tradition, as
well as on styding and analysing the educational systems of specific countries, which enables
us to note the similarities and differences, to use the positive and strong points of such educational systems, and to come up with new ideas, with a view to improving the quality of the
educational process.
The analysis is mainly focused on the curricula of specific countries, serving as a starting point
for implementing numerous educational reforms aimed at improving the educational system.
This paper analyses subject-based class teaching art education curricula in the Republic of
North Macedonia and other countries (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Finland). The
comparative analysis of the curricula includes several aspects concerning the perception of
similarities and differences in terminology, objective setting, the number of classes, systematically and appropriately defined contents, age appropriate contents, the manner of assessing pupil academic achievement and teacher competencies.
The purpose of this analysis is to contribute, by focusing on individual aspects of a curriculum,
to developing modern, high-quality curricula for art education in elementary schools, which
will keep pace with contemporary trends in the development of this discipline and which will
be compatible with European curricula, motivating both teachers and pupils.
