The current practice within the Bosnian-Herzegovinian educational system indicates inconsistencies in implementing intercultural and intracultural educational practices. They are not even differentiated but rather equated. However, for the preservation of all the values that Bosnia and Herzegovina embodies, it is necessary to preserve the unique BosnianHerzegovinian habitus, composed of all cultural traditions (Bosniak, Croatian, Serbian, Jewish, Roma, and others), and this can only be achieved through intracultural education. What needs to be done within the educational system is the introduction of the subject of course “Intracultural education” in primary and secondary schools and the implementation of intracultural policies through the ministries of education at the state, entity, and cantonal
levels, as well as intracultural education across all segments of society. This paper highl ights the differences between intercultural and intracultural education and provides guidelines on how to implement the necessary intracultural education policy. As a paradigm, some positive practices within Bosnian-Herzegovinian culture and literature are presented, which can serve as a good foundation for further action.
