摘要：authors analyze attitudes of the village youth in four villages in Croatia to general and professional education for farmers. Research was carried out in 1968, 1978 and 1988 as part of a project on socio-economic change. Four groups of village youth were included: farmers, those employed outside the farm, secondary-school pupils and university students, and pupils of the eighth grade of primary school. In places where agricultural production is traditional, most respondents agree completely or partially that farmers do not need school education. On the contrary, under conditions of modern agricultural production almost nine tenths young people have a positive attitude to general and professional education for farmers. In relation to other groups of young people, young farmers show pronounced conservativism both to general and to professional education, and this was the opinion of respondents from less developed villages, too.
