Stakeholders remain divided on state funding of private schools

Ljubljana, 5 February - President Borut Pahor hosted a debate on the funding of private primary schools on Tuesday. More than four years after the Constitutional Court decided that private schools should be 100% state-funded, the issue still divides stakeholders, experts and policy makers, and the country is yet to adopt legislation that would implement the ruling.
