Slovakia 9th Grade History Curriculum (Lower Secondary Education)

Slovakia's education system consists of 10 years of compulsory school attendance, with lower secondary education covering grades 5 to 9. History is a standard subject within this curriculum.

The history curriculum in Slovakia teaches 20th-century history in the 9th grade, covering topics such as dictatorships, racism, and the world wars. One source mentions that history is taught chronologically, meaning Slovak students learn 20th-century history in 9th grade.

A significant curriculum reform for primary and lower secondary education began implementation in September 2023. This reform aims to modernize education and equip students with 21st-century skills. A new State Educational Program was approved in May 2023 as part of this reform. However, specific details about the updated history curriculum remain unavailable.
