Extractions: Education in Slovakia consists of a free education system based on 9 years of compulsory school attendance. edit Most schools, especially universities, are owned by the state, though since the there are also church owned and private schools (see Statistics section). Slovakia has a 9 years compulsory education (10 years were prescribed between 1984 and 1990), meaning that everybody must finish primary education at least. Students go to school five days a week, from Monday till Friday. Saturdays as school days were cancelled before the 1980s. School holidays are from the 1st of July till the end of August (at universities also in June), a week around Christmas and Easter , and on official holidays. A school year consists of two semesters. The first one ends at the end of January in all schools, the second one before the beginning of the summer holidays (see above). Primary and secondary school students usually have around 6 classes a day (less at the beginning of the education, more later). Classes last for 45 minutes, and there are breaks between them (several short ones and one longer one â the so-called "big break"). The state financed education and all textbooks and instructional material below the university level are free (returned at the end of the semestre) â in most cases at least. Students at standard schools receive marks in almost all subjects. The marks go from 1 (best) to 5 (worst), including intermediary marks such as 2- (i.e. between 2 and 3). Compared to western European countries, there is an intrinsic "tradition" of teachers granting students rather marks at the "good" end of the scale, i.e. more 1s, 2s and 3s than they would receive in western Europe, for example. Students below the university level receive school reports (lists of final marks) at the end of each semester.

Extractions: Historical Cultural Synopsis The emergence of culture and of Slovak national literature came late. Elements of the Slovakian spoken language appeared in literary texts during the centuries preceding the 18th century, but Anton Bernolák (1762-1813) was the first who attempted to create a literary language. Bernolák's language was used by two talented writers, Jozef Ignác Bajza (1755-1836), the author of the first Slovakian novel, and the famous classical poet Ján Hollý (1785-1849), who wrote his epic poems in alexandrine verse in order to prove the Slovakian language malleable enough to be equal to complicated forms of ancient poetry. 19th Century This language, based on the dialect from central Slovakia, was adopted by the entire nation. Inspired by the Helegian philosophy, he developed the concept of Slovakian romanticism, whose main characteristics are the pre-eminence of patriotic thought and the attachment to popular traditions. During the difficult period of forced "Hungary-isation" that followed the missed revolution of 1948, a few writers endeavoured to maintain the morale of a population progressively stripped of its' culture.

Extractions: Travel Home Europe Slovakia Flights Cars Hotels DESTINATION SLOVAKIA (Click to view map) Slovakia, the former Czechoslovakia's less glamourous partner, emerged dishevelled and sleepy after the 'Velvet Revolution' of 1989. Although it's now holding its own in a rebuilding Eastern bloc, there's a refreshing absence of Prague-style glitz and clamour. The capital, Bratislava, is small and cheerful with a surprisingly accomplished cultural life; the High Tatras are as rugged a range as any in Eastern Europe and the peasant traditions of rural Slovakia are still evident in the villages. You'll find the Slovaks to be extremely warm, friendly people prepared to go out of their way to help you enjoy their country.
