For more than 1,300 years Slovenes had lived in Eastern Europe without having a separate Slovene state, but in December of 1990, they voted for independence, or, put more appropriately, for ..."disassociation" from Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Slovenia had to fight for its independence, which it did not fully achieve until 1995 after its bloody disintegration with Yugoslavia was over. Since independence, however, Slovenia has prospered; its economy is far ahead of other former communist states and in 2004 Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the European Union, the only republic of former Yugoslavia to do so. The A to Z of Slovenia covers the history of Slovenia and its struggle to gain independence from communism. This is done through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on some of the more significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.
Since the 19th century coexist three trends in history instruction: the traditional, the progressive and the pedagogical and they all have legitimate, but conflicting goals. While none of the trends ...can avoid the ideological selection of the history contents, has the pedagogical trend, which focuses on the development of basic historical concepts and thinking, the best chance of avoiding political manipulation of history education. The Slovene history curriculum (2011) comprises the general goals of all the three trends. However, there is no clear consensus to the main purpose of history instruction. There are decisively too many objectives and standards for each topic and each grade and there is too little connection between them and the general goals.

Slovenski ucni nacrt (2011) vsebuje konfliktne splosne cilje vseh treh trendov. Zato namen ni jasen. Prestevilni operativni cilji in standardi niso usklajeni s splosnimi cilji.
