Minister of Education Rončević: We will abolish the nine-year school and prepare the transition to a modern eight-year primary school

N1 SlovenijaIndependentCenter10 days ago

The results of the PISA 2025 international study showed that Slovenian 15-year-olds performed worse than three years ago in natural science, mathematical, and reading literacy compared to the OECD average. In response, Education Minister Borut Rončević announced a school system reform, including the removal of the nine-year compulsory education period. The Association of School Principals and Deputy Principals commented on these changes, emphasizing concerns over the current educational approach, which they believe has led students to rely too much on parents and teachers rather than developing their own skills. They argue this undermines student motivation and performance, as reflected in the PISA results. According to the proposed reform, the nine-year compulsory education would be restructured into eight years of primary school and one year in a smaller school, starting in the academic year 2028/29.

Minister za izobraževanje Borut Rončević je po rezultatih PISA 2025, ki kažejo padec znanja slovenskih 15-letnikov, napovedal reformo sistema vzgoje in izobraževanja. Ključna sprememba bo prehod na osemletno osnovno šolo, kar pomeni, da bo odpravljena devetletka. Minister je opozoril, da so rezultati mednarodne raziskave 'strašno resno opozorilo' in da je potreben sprememba v sistemu, kjer je progresivna ideologija prevzela prednost pred znanjem. Reforma bo vključevala zgodnje opismenjevanje, pomoč za zaostajajoče otroke in zahtevnejše učne načrte. Učitelji bodo dobili več avtonomije, medtem ko bo vključeno tudi računalništvo, programiranje in drugi digitalni predmeti.

Slovenski 15-letniki so v PISA 2025 dosegli najslabše rezultate doslej, z izrazitim padcem v vseh treh testiranih področjih – bralni pismenosti, matematiki in naravoslovju. Največji zaostanek je bil pri bralni pismenosti, kjer so dosegli 445 točk, kar je 16 točk manj kot povprečje OECD. Minister za izobraževanje Borut Rončević je ocenil rezultate kot 'strašno resno opozorilo' in predlagal odpravo devetletke ter šolsko reformo, ki bi poudarila znanje. V primerjavi z letom 2022 so pri matematiki izgubili 25 točk, pri branju 24 in pri naravoslovju 16. PISA testira sposobnost uporabe znanja v praktičnih situacijah, ne samo pamtnje učne snovi. Več kot tretjina slovenskih 15-letnikov ni dosegljala temeljne ravni branja, kar je zmanjšano za 18 točk od leta 2018. Razlika med spoloma je tudi izrazita, z razliko 51 točk med dekleti in fanti.

Minister je poudarjal potrebo po vrnitvi avtoritete učiteljem, institucionalni samozavesti šolah, ter zagotavljanju tradicionalnih temeljnih znanj skupaj z znanji za prihodnost.
