The Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic ( oversees the education system. The National Institute of Education and Youth (NIVAM) develops the state educational programs and framework curricula. Schools then create their own school educational programs based on the state guidelines.

While the specific details of the second-grade geography syllabus are not readily available in English, it is likely covered within the "Man and Society" educational area and may include topics related to Slovakia's geography, local landscapes, and basic map skills. Geography is allocated two hours per week in second grade according to the framework teaching plan.
