Abstract

Outdated school design policy, and a lack of its synchronisation with the changes of other segments of education are hindering the progress of education reform in Serbia. This study conducted a literature review and document analysis; identified common education reform areas in Serbia, England and Germany, used them as an analytical framework for comparison, and mapped the challenges posed by the desynchronised school design policy. Analysis of the connections, interrelations and implications of mapped education reform areas and school design policy as its integral part, led to series of recommendations for school design policy improvement in Serbia. Developing school design policy in a synergetic fashion with all the other segments of education could improve translation of education reform changes into feasible school building plans, thus contribute to the tempo and the quality of education reform in Serbia.

Keywords: Education reform, school design policy, Serbia, England, Germany.
