Contribution

Education of students with difficulties in development is an important research, educational and social question. Parents of students with difficulties have very important place because the educational program demands their strong inclusion and in literature we meet the concepts of parents investment, or in wider terms, the concept of parents capital.

The goals of this study are to discuss the views of parents of the students with difficulties included into regular educational program of elementary schools in the Republic of Croatia. At the same time, the goal of this study is to discuss the difference in structure of the views of parents of the students with difficulties depending on a number of socio-demographic characteristics.

Method

The sample included 400 parents of the students with difficulties included into regular educational elementary school system of the Republic of Croatia. The parents of the students of all elementary school grades are examined. From the existing school records on students with difficulties it was collected a number of data on school achievements. The views of parents of the students with difficulties are examined by the universal questionnaire. The questionnaire is structured in a way to cover all areas from the education of the students with difficulties. The study was conducted during 2011 by specially educated interviewers. Data analysis was done on the basis of univariate and multivariate method of data processing.

Expected Outcomes

In the result analysis it is done an extensive analysis of the incidence of some school activities of students with difficulties. On the basis of obtained results it is clear that from the parents’ point of view, the students with difficulties do not vary from the students without difficulties.
