Večernja škola (English: The Evening School) is a Croatian improvisational comedy television series hosted by Željko Pervan. The series stars Pervan as a teacher of an night school class that discusses and learns about various political and social topics.

The series originally aired on OTV between 1995 and 1998. After achieving considerable popularity in the region,[1] it moved to HRT 2 as Večernja škola: Povratak upisanih from 2005 to 2006. From 2007 to 2008, Nova TV aired the spin-offs Večernja škola: Praksa and Večernja škola: EU.[2]

Premise

The show is largely improvisational and spontaneous, with Pervan portraying a teacher who leads a group of students in satirical debates on various political and societal issues.[3] The majority of comedy stems from the students' poor understanding of the topics that are discussed.
