OŠ Pušća (Primary School Pušća) is a state school situated in Donja Pušća, a village near Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. It´s primary public school for pupils 6 to 15 years old. All together we have 312 students and 43 teachers. Donja Pušća is a quiet, suburban part of Zagreb where many young families have moved to live a more peaceful life, away from the city noise. Many people own a house. 
The majority of people from Donja Pušća commute to work to Zagreb or Zaprešić. However, due to the recession that has caused severe difficulties in Croatia in the last couple of years, many people have lost their jobs. The situation in small towns is especially difficult. 
Our school dates from 1848, and the new main school building was built in 2002. Also we have new branch school built 2010. in village Dubravica, 7km away from our main school in Pušća. Our school is small, but it is one of the most modern schools in the state. It has adopted zero-tolerance policy towards violence. 
All our classrooms are equipped with computers, TV sets and DVD players. The school also has laptops and LCD projectors that the teachers freely use for their lessons. Moreover, students can use the Internet at the school library and in the computers room. Our school aims at providing students with the basic learning tools that they need in order to learn more and become active EU citizens. In 2012 our school also bought a new interactive white board.
At present, there are 237 students in our main school and 75 students in our branch school. There are students with special educational needs, such as students suffering from dyslexia and dysgraphia. Several students have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADHD and ADD). 
In addition, a number of children from Bosnia and Herzegovina attend our school. They are often faced with adjustment difficulties. 
Other national minorities in our region include Serbs, Muslims, Ukrainians, and Albanians.
