Educational experts in Slovakia have identified systemic issues regarding classroom discipline and literacy. Children’s Commissioner Jozef Mikloško highlighted rising aggression among youth and the need for teachers to receive better methodological guidelines to establish authority and de-escalate conflicts. Additionally, Professor Andrej Rajský noted a decline in reading literacy, citing PISA results where one-third of students struggle with written text, and suggested subsidizing school libraries to address the issue.

In response to linguistic needs, new educational resources have been introduced for second-grade students. These tools include 23 practice dictations provided through online formats and podcasts to help young learners improve spelling and grammar, specifically focusing on proper names, geographical locations, and diphthongs.
