Croatia's FER dean urges more foreign talent, questions English-language teaching

The dean of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) stated that Croatia will need significantly more highly educated immigrants over the next 5-10 years to sustain economic growth, raising the question of how much university instruction should be in English. This signals a policy debate on immigration and education language, but no concrete measures have been proposed. The statement reflects a growing recognition of demographic and skills shortages in Croatia.
