摘要：Notwithstanding the fact that adult education is accepted as an equal subsystem in all European countries,it is still characterised by a distinct level of differentiation in the approach and offer,and by a pronouncedly disorganised legislation,which may be seen in the heterogeneity of competences and qualifications expected from adult educators. To be able to professionally respond to the requirements and necessities of contemporary society,adult educators must continuously develop subject-professional,pedagogical-teaching and andragogical competences. Today,the majority of adult educators in Croatia do not have the basic andragogical knowledge and skills because of,among other things,insufficient opportunities for such an education. Starting from this assumption,in the first part of the paper we have described the impact of European policies for adult education on the national strategic and regulatory documents. The central part of the paper is dedicated to an overview of initial and continuing professional education of adult educators in Croatia. The final part of the paper consists of recommendations for the professionalisation of the adult education system.
