On August 31, 2026, Slovenia's Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth presented key data on student enrollment for the upcoming school year 2026/2027. The report highlighted changes across various educational sectors, including updated curricula, special education programs, and vocational training. Approximately 186,687 elementary school students, including 19,058 first-graders, will start the new academic year, while around 88,000 secondary school students are enrolled. New programs include vocational and technical tracks, with specific numbers provided for each category. In elementary schools, new curricula for grades 1, 4, 7, and partially grade 6 will begin implementation. These curricula were developed through a curriculum renewal project, which revised over 200 curricula and knowledge catalogs. The ministry also announced expanded public funding for educational materials for fourth-grade students, extending previous support for grades 1–3. Additional reforms include legislative changes aimed at gradually integrating immigrants into the education system.
