The School for Midwives is the only one in Croatia and Europe when it comes to secondary education for midwives, and so far, we have not had the opportunity to organize professional practice for students abroad.

The institution's goal is also to ensure greater mobility of teaching staff and enable them to acquire new knowledge and skills, follow new methods of work in the field of learning and teaching, and use this knowledge in teaching. In this way, we have been preparing for the reform of vocational education and the modular approach to teaching. The project "Motivated Teacher = Motivated Student" has helped the School for Midwives fulfill its long-term strategy to become a leading educational institution for formal and non-formal education of young people.
