Abstract (english)

Military education as an integral and inseparable part of building the army as an institution changes its identity and tends to become a place of development, changes, scientific research, quality teaching and education. Adoption of the National Curriculum Framework creates conditions for these changes. Introduction of the military schools curriculum will inevitably lead to the hidden curriculum. In adult education (andragogy) the hidden curriculum appears in a more vigorous and influential form. The ability to function and high reliability of the military system are based on hierarchy in which the formation of will is carried out from top downwards. The most prominent factors are command, obedience and reporting. In such an environment, we recognize the positive and negative effects of the hidden curriculum in Croatian military schools.
