Outline
Slovenia is
a highly educated society with a literacy rate of more than 99%.
The school system has been subject to changes and reform in recent
years to provide access to all people in the workforce. The education
system is funded almost entirely by the state budget. In 1999, the
number of people of the age of 29 and under was 756, 175 (38% of
the population). Compulsory education is from 6 - 15 years of age
and is free. The Ministry of Education, Science and Sport is responsible
for the development of education policies, allocation of funds and
implementation of laws and administrative decisions. The curricula
are set at the national level. Compulsory subjects account for 80%
of the curriculum. In technical and vocational education, the compulsory
subjects vary. There has been an expansion of the vocational education
and training system. Dual system of secondary vocational education
and new types of post-secondary vocational colleges have been established.
In 1998, post secondary non-tertiary general courses were introduced.
A new certificate of accreditation system was introduced in 2000,
which allows adults to gain credit for knowledge and acquire a recognised
qualification. Slovenia has two universities: University of Ljubljana
(1919) and the University of Maribor (1975). About 9% of the population
has a university degree. The topic Web resources include the extensive
web site of the Ministry of Education which presents detailed curricula
for the various levels of education.
