SloveniaThe article discusses a proposed initiative in Slovenia where every first-year student (including those at secondary and vocational schools) would receive a printed copy of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia at the start of the 2026/2027 school year. While the idea is presented as supportive of civic education, the article raises critical questions about its practicality and necessity. It notes that the Constitution is already freely available online through the national legal information system, making physical distribution seem redundant, especially during a time of emphasis on digitalization and cost efficiency. The article further highlights concerns over the lack of transparency regarding the project’s budget, number of copies, and printing contractor, questioning whether the initiative is a genuine effort toward civic education or merely a symbolic political gesture. It concludes by emphasizing that the true vitality of the Constitution comes from its respect and application by the state, not just its physical availability.
