20 years with the EU in civic education in Slovakia

The article focuses on the changes that occurred in civic education after the revolution in 1989 and seeks to identify the reasons why the entry of the Slovak Republic into the EU was insufficiently reflected in the content of this education. It mainly examines curriculum changes and civic education within lower and upper secondary education. The article articulates the challenges facing civic education in Slovakia in connection with the new school reform, highlighting the constant reforms that have not been completed as a significant reason for the current state. Given that education is currently awaiting another reform, a significant factor identified is the willingness of teachers to participate in it in terms of content, or at least to implement it in practice.

Abstract

The article focuses on the changes that occurred in civic education after the revolution in 1989 and seeks to identify the reasons why the entry of the Slovak Republic into the EU was insufficiently reflected in the content of this education. It mainly examines curriculum changes and civic education within lower and upper secondary education. The article articulates the challenges facing civic education in Slovakia in connection with the new school reform, highlighting the constant reforms that have not been completed as a significant reason for the current state. Given that education is currently awaiting another reform, a significant factor identified is the willingness of teachers to participate in it in terms of content, or at least to implement it in practice.
