On 20 September 2026, the Slovenian Ministry of Education, Science and Youth announced that it will continue to co‑finance supplementary lessons in mother tongues and cultures for children of other nationalities during the 2026/2027 school year.
The ministry stated that it will provide financial support for the implementation of these lessons in both primary and secondary schools across the country. The co‑financing is part of a broader policy aimed at preserving linguistic and cultural diversity among students.
For several years, the ministry has supported the delivery of supplementary mother‑tongue and cultural education for children belonging to minority nationalities. The initiative is designed to help students maintain their native languages and cultural identities while attending mainstream schools.
Under the new co‑financing arrangement, schools that offer these lessons will receive additional funding to cover teacher salaries, teaching materials, and related resources. The ministry will monitor the program’s implementation to ensure that it meets educational standards and serves the needs of the target student population.
While the announcement does not detail specific languages or curricula, it confirms the ministry’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive educational environment that respects and promotes the linguistic heritage of all students.
