Remarks to progress by Liga (last modified Dec 31, 2024):
In Austria, especially in Carinthia, there are special educational programmes for the Slovene ethnic group. Bilingual education is mainly offered in areas where a significant number of Slovenes live. However, there are challenges: In some regions, there are still bottlenecks in the provision of qualified teachers and suitable learning materials. There are also ongoing discussions about the appropriate promotion and integration of the Slovenian language in the education system.
