The Slovenian primary school system includes Environmental Studies as a subject, integrating it with other subjects throughout the nine-year program. While the specific 8th-grade curriculum details are not readily available, the curriculum emphasizes a connection with nature and includes outdoor learning experiences. Environmental education in Slovenia aims to develop students' understanding of environmental concepts, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of natural systems. Science-oriented topics related to the environment are integrated into the curriculum, with a new science curriculum planned for introduction in 2026. The Slovenian Ministry of Education oversees the curriculum and promotes environmental education initiatives such as the Eco-Schools program.
