Minister of Education Tomáš Drucker opened the 2026/2027 school year at Kráľová Primary School near Senec. He wished students, parents, teachers and other school staff successful completion of the new year and built on changes entering primary schools in September. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗
Drucker emphasizes that school should prepare a child for real life, not just for the next test. According to the ministry, the curriculum reform should bring less memorization, more understanding and practical application of knowledge. The Minister also pointed out the need to guide children towards mastering technologies that are part of their world. domov.sme.sk ↗
The ministry also acknowledges concerns of approximately a thousand primary schools that did not voluntarily participate in the reform in previous years. From September, however, they will also begin teaching according to new rules, initially in the first grades. The Ministry promises them assistance in implementing the changes. teraz.sk ↗
Drucker continues to deny that the ministry is preparing mass school closures. He speaks about improving the quality of education, especially in smaller schools where results are weaker. The goal is to preserve schools for the youngest children in municipalities and ensure the transfer of older students to larger schools. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
Parents of first-graders are to be automatically paid a financial allowance by authorities in October along with the standard monthly allowance for September. Further developments will show how schools manage the mandatory implementation of the reform and how the ministry will link new teaching rules with changes in the school network. aktuality.sk ↗
