Edukacijom

Edukacijom is the instrumental singular form of the noun edukacija, used in several South Slavic languages such as Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin. The term denotes education, instruction, or training and is used to express the means or instrument by which an action is performed, roughly equivalent to “by education” or “through education” in English. The root eduk- is derived from the broader family of words related to education and is cognate with terms found in many languages that trace back to Latin educatio or the concept of education through learning.

In practice, edukacijom appears in formal writing and discourse to highlight education as a method or process that yields results. It is commonly found in policy documents, academic texts, and organizational communications when describing how outcomes are achieved through learning and skill development. For example: “Edukacijom zaposlenih se povećava bezbednost na radu,” meaning “Through the education of employees, workplace safety increases.” Another instance might read, “Kroz edukacijom i obukom program stiče relevantna znanja,” which translates to “Through education and training, the program gains relevant knowledge.”

Morphology and usage notes: edukacijom is the feminine noun edukacija in the instrumental singular form, used to indicate means rather than subject or object. It coexists with related terms such as edukacija (education) and phrases that specify the context or method of learning.
