BASIC PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION IN SLOVAKIA IN THE CONTEXT OF BUILDING A KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
Abstract
Immediately after the collapse of socialism, post-socialist education remained relatively good. With the end of negative ideological pressure, however, adverse changes began that, unfortunately, have survived. We can identify five negative changes. First came the melding of what was previously the separate training of teachers in primary and secondary schools. Then came the rejection of a predetermined number of graduates within certain disciplines. Third, schools became financed according to their student enrollment. Fourth, minister Mikolaj's school reform divided educational hours into a pre-compiled state educational program and an optional school curriculum. Fifth, the EU lowered the bar on exams. Until recently, the university rightly considered the minimum exam success rate as 70%. EU institutions, however, have adopted a standard according to which the threshold for granting the minimum degree of recognition for the exam is respectively 50% or 51%. To ameliorate these deficiencies, the Slovak educational system requires better pedagogical training for university teachers. If we want to build a knowledge society, we must correct the mistakes we have made in Slovakia over the last 35 years.
