# Educational Standards Compliance

## The National Curriculum — the Central Document of the Standard

At the public-school level, compliance with educational standards means, first of all, observance of the national curriculum. Under Article 5 of the Law on General Education, the state develops a national curriculum which determines the goals of teaching and learning, the knowledge to be acquired in each subject and the educational principles on which methodology and assessment must rest, the necessary subject groups by level, hours and workload per subject, and the conditions and recommendations for organising the learning environment.

The curriculum is mandatory for every general educational institution — compliance is therefore assessed precisely against this document.

### What is the central document?

The national curriculum — mandatory for all.

### How is it adapted?

Through individual, alternative or extended curricula.

### Who is responsible?

The institution — observance is its obligation.

### Which textbooks?

Approved or agreed ones — no other route exists.

### Are additional paid services possible?

Only with the parents’ consent and under the statutory conditions: not by the same school’s teacher, not in the form of a lesson, and not within the mandatory workload during the educational process.
