Education is very important these days. If you want to succeed in our highly-developed society you need a good education.
There have been some serious changes made in the educational system in Slovakia in the last few years. The National Curriculum has been changed, a new school-leaving exam is being introduced at secondary schools and many students are taking advantage of studying abroad, just to name a few.
School attendance in Slovakia is compulsory from the age of six to sixteen. Besides state schools, there are also church schools and private schools. There are several stages of education: pre-school education, primary education, secondary education, post-secondary education and higher education.
