Education
The State Educational Programmes (hereinafter referred to as "SEP") define the compulsory content of education - the core curriculum - in the field of vocational education and training (hereinafter referred to as "VET"), which is guaranteed by the state. They are issued and published by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic after consultation with employers, school founders and their professional and interest associations with nationwide scope and with line ministries within the scope of their sectoral competence in accordance with generally binding legislation. The curricula are developed for each group of disciplines and their title corresponds to the name of the group of disciplines. The curriculum frameworks are binding curriculum documents for the development of school curricula, textbooks, teaching texts and workbooks, and for the assessment and control of learning outcomes.
