Faith and Education Week

As the new school year begins, the Society of Catholic Educators of Slovenia, in collaboration with the Slovenian Catechetical Office and the Education Commission of the Slovenian Bishops' Conference, is organizing the ninth 'Week of Education,' themed 'Faith and Education.' The event aims to inspire teachers, educators, parents, and students at the start of the academic year. Dr. Anton Jamnik, President of the Education Commission, emphasized that the initiative does not involve religious instruction but rather a general educational subject focused on religion and ethics. He highlighted three main issues related to faith and education: lack of religious knowledge, prejudices, and misconceptions or fanaticism. Jamnik stressed the importance of understanding different religions for cultural identity and social cohesion. Discussions with Minister for Education and Youth Borut Rončević will include the potential introduction of a subject on religion and ethics in primary and secondary schools.

Dr. Uroš Ocepek: The students predicted the winner of Eurovision and scored (VIDEO)

Dr. Uroš Ocepek, en izmed 24 najboljših učiteljev v Evropi in 50 najboljših na svetu, je v svojem razredu uporabil umetno inteligenco za napovedovanje zmagovalca Evrovizije. Ocepek poudarja, da so v šoli še vedno najpomembnejši znanje, vrednote in odnos do mladih. V svojem delu uporablja modern metode, vključeval pa je tudi dijakov v nekonvencionalnih oblikah, kot je oblačanje v Pikachuja. Poudarja pomembnost strogo vedenja na začetku šolskega leta in pomen vrednot v pouku. Ocepek meni, da učitelji igrajo ključno vlogo v oblikovanju sveta mladih, posebej v času družbenih omrežij. Sam se je učil matematike ob Avsenikih, a priporoča dijacem ustvarjanje prijetnega okolja za učenje. Njegova zgodba vsebuje tudi nepričakovan element – DNK-test je pokazal vikinške korenine.
