Co-financing tuition for adults

The program for reducing educational deficits is intended to improve the general education of adult population and raise the education level of Slovene citizens aged 25 to 64 years.

By co-funding tuition fees, adults are encouraged to complete the programmes of formal education up to the secondary school level (education level 5) and in this way raise their education level. Completed secondary education increases the individual’s chances of employment and contributes to his/her greater labour market competitiveness. 

The funds available for the complete programme of co-funding adult education in the academic years from 2007/2008 to 2009/2010 amounted to 3.172.950,00 €.

The new programme for the academic years from 2007-2013 for co-funding tuition fees in order to reduce the educational deficits was published in January 2011. The funds covering the complete programme are in the amount of 7.360.610,00 €.
