Education Minister Tomáš Drucker denied that the ministry is preparing to close schools in Slovakia. According to him, the Ministry wants to focus on improving the quality of education, especially in smaller schools where results in comparisons are weak. hnonline.sk ↗
Drucker stated that the goal is not to shut down schools in municipalities, but to set up the system so that the youngest children can remain in school in their own municipality. For older students, the state or local governments should subsequently ensure their transfer to a school in a larger municipality. By this, the ministry indicates a change in the organization of education that should preserve access to basic education while at the same time strengthening its quality. teraz.sk ↗
From September onwards, a curriculum reform is also to be implemented in all elementary schools. The Ministry of Education in Bratislava has prepared an event at which it will present new teaching methods and model lessons. Parents will be able to talk with teachers, school principals, and experts from the National Institute of Education and Youth. Families will be able to try out the new approaches in the baroque garden of Bratislava Castle. bratislavak.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on how the ministry links the curriculum reform with changes in the school network and student transportation. The Ministry is currently emphasizing teaching quality, not widespread school closures. teraz.sk ↗
