Developlment of National Curricula falls under the competence of Ministry of Education
The Slovak government introduced new national curriculum in 2007. It gives teachers and subject commissions more possibility to adapt educational programmes to the conditions of individual schools and teachers
Each school follows National Curriculum but also has its own State School Curriculum which
reflects individual orientation and objectives of the school and profile of their graduates

Reasons:at lessons teachers prefer transmissive model to productive model of of teaching (passive transfer of information to their productive exploration by learners)lack of creativity at lessonsteachers pose questions and often answer them...teachers focus on meeting their lesson plan
and forget to develop students´ competenciesteachers do not devote enough time to individual
needs of students and do not motivate them
