| Tartalmi kivonat: | Humanities and civic education in Slovakia is an underemphasized component of general education compared to other educational fields. This state of affairs is due to several factors, namely international and national testing and pressure on so-called employability, while the values and attitudes of future citizens are rather ignored. The consequences of the undervaluing of humanities education are felt in society in the high level of distrust in the system and the power of science, the questioning of the basic values of the democratic system and the tendencies towards populism and authoritarianism. The situation should be changed by the complex reform and introduction of the new curriculum, which is currently being introduced in the first schools. The new curriculum introduces an up to date narrative in History teaching within the educational field People and Society aimed at active citizenship opened to European and global issues. This paper aims to present the history of the Slovak education system, the place of history and civics in it, current challenges and problems that need to be addressed in adapting the education system to the needs of the 21st century. |
