society. In-depth e-skills should be defined as well as possible and incorporated in the official
(compulsory) education system. This is why conditions for obtaining suitable computer and
information knowledge and skills should be established at all levels of the education system. Slovenia
will adjust the school system to the new generations and needs dictated by the new reality of the
digitised society by completing and updating curricula and introducing innovative digital learning
environments, methods and teaching practices, as well as by the general intensive and innovative use
of ICT and the internet in teaching processes, which must become a fixture of any amendment or
renewal of the education system.
Development of an inclusive digital society is therefore a precondition for the use of the opportunities
offered by ICT and the internet to achieve general social and economic benefits, and consequently to
improve Slovenia's competitiveness in a global environment.
