Legislation of Education

More information

Public education institutions are governed by public law. The government uses legislation to promote e.g. the adoption of guidelines on public service.

Basic school is mandatory, and regulated by

  • The Organization and financing of education Act (terms and conditions regarding provision, management and funding)
  • The Basic school Act (e.g. general objectives, components and scope of basic education, assessment)
  • The School meals Act (e.g. organization and quality of school meals, schools’ responsibilities to educate pupils about healthy nutrition)

 

There is a strategy for digital education, which aims for using ICT to facilitate innovative, open and sustainable learning. Top-level education authorities support two external bodies that provide support for schools in organizing digital education: The national institute Education Slovenia (e.g. curriculum development, research, support for teachers and schools) and the Academic and Research Network of Slovenia (ARNES; network service provision).

Schools Schools can take 58% of the decisions, but they have got less control over curricula and assessment issues compared to the OECD average. Schools generally can make their own decision in issues regarding resource management.

Schools are managed by school leaders and governed by their school councils. At all levels, school councils include a representative of founders, employees and parents, while in upper secondary schools school council also includes students’ representatives. The main responsibilities of the school council:

  • to appoint and dismiss the school leader
  • to determine the school development plan and the annual work plans
  • to coordinate the implementation of the plans

Funding of education

More information

Type of schools Source of funds
Schools are funded by the state and by municipalities as well.

The state provides financial resources for salaries of teachers and nonteaching staff, for material costs (e.g. teaching and learning materials, textbooks, meals, in-service training of staff).

Municipalities are mainly responsible for covering the operational expenditure and the transportation costs of students. If a municipality is not able to cover these costs from its own budget it can receive additional help from the central budget.

Upper secondary, vocational and tertiary education Financed directly from the state budget
