Slovakia Primary School 3rd Grade Curriculum - English Language

Overview:

The Slovak education system consists of 10 years of compulsory school attendance. Primary school is divided into two stages: grades 1-4 (ISCED 1) and grades 5-9 (ISCED 2). English is commonly taught as a foreign language, often starting in 3rd grade. A new curriculum was implemented in September 2023 for primary and lower secondary education.
