IZOBRAŽEVANJE ČASTNIKOV – OD RAZPRAV O ORGANIZIRANOSTI K RAZMISLEKU O VSEBINAH

Abstract

Sodobne vojaške organizacije izobraževanje častnikov nenehno prilagajajo novim zahtevam. V prispevku so najprej na kratko prikazani sedanji izzivi, s katerimi se pri izobraževanju častnikov srečujejo v večini zahodnih držav. V drugem delu je predstavljen pristop k izobraževanju in usposabljanju v Natu, predvsem z vidika značilnosti, ki so aktualne tudi za razmislek o izobraževanju v Slovenski vojski. V zadnjem delu pa prikažemo značilnosti, temeljne težave in izzive izobraževanja častnikov v Slovenski vojski. Pomanjkljivosti izobraževanja se kažejo predvsem na nadaljevalni ravni. Programe bi bilo treba prilagoditi sodobnim zahtevam vojaške profesije in ob tem tudi izboljšati kakovost njihovega izvajanja. Do zdaj je bila pozornost namenjena predvsem spremembam organizacijske strukture izobraževanja, vprašanja zahtev in ciljev ter kakovosti pa niso bila ustrezno obravnavana. V prihodnje bo treba več pozornosti nameniti prav tem vprašanjem in šele, ko bodo znani jasni odgovori, je smiselna tudi razprava o organizacijskih rešitvah. Contemporary military organizations constantly adjust officer education to new requirements. The article begins with a short depiction of the current challenges in officer education, which appear in most Western states. This is followed by the presentation of NATO’s approach to education and training, from the viewpoint of the characteristics relevant for consideration in the Slovenian Armed Forces. The last part of the article deals with characteristics, basic issues and challenges in officer education in the Slovenian Armed Forces. Shortcomings mostly exist at a higher level of education. Educational programmes need to be aligned with contemporary requirements of the military profession, and the quality of implementation should be improved. So far, attention has mainly been given to changes in the organizational structure of education, while educational requirements, goals and quality issues were not adequately addressed. In the future, more attention should be devoted to the latter issues, and only after reaching clear solutions, the discussion on organizational issues seems reasonable.
