Slovakia 5th Grade Curriculum - Physics

Information regarding the specific details of the 5th-grade physics curriculum in Slovakia is currently unavailable in English. However, the following information about the Slovak education system and science curriculum may be helpful:

General Education in Slovakia:

  • Education in Slovakia is compulsory for 10 years, from age 6 to 16.
Primary school ( základná škola*) consists of two stages: Grades 1 to 4 (ISCED Level 1) and Grades 5 to 9 (ISCED Level 2).
  • Primary schools provide general education in various subjects, including Slovak language and literature, foreign languages, mathematics, physics, biology, geography, history, arts, and sports.
  • A two-level education model (state and school level) has been in place since 2007.
  • As of September 2023, Slovakia is undergoing a reform of its national curriculum for primary and lower secondary education, focusing on 21st-century skills like critical thinking and digital literacy.

Science Curriculum:

  • Science subjects in primary and lower secondary grades often include biology, geography, physics, chemistry, and health. It is unclear whether physics is taught as a separate subject in 5th grade or within a broader science curriculum.
  • The Slovak National Curriculum document, which may contain further details, is available primarily in Slovak:
  • A comparative study of Czech and Slovak science curricula (including physics) was published in August 2023:

It is recommended to consult the Slovak Ministry of Education or individual schools for the most up-to-date and detailed information about the 5th-grade physics curriculum.
