Assesment and completion:

System of assessment:

In the first triad (years 1–3) of elementary school, students' knowledge is assessed using descriptive assessments. In the second triad (years 4–6) and third triad (years 7–9) of elementary school, students' knowledge is assessed using numerical grades.

National assessment:

At the end of the second and third triads, students' knowledge is tested by means of national assessment, which is designed to verify the standards of knowledge set out in the curriculum. The results of national assessment serve as additional information on students' knowledge.

At the end of the second triad, national assessment is voluntary for students; testing covers the mother tongue (Slovene, Hungarian, Italian), mathematics and a foreign language. At the end of the third triad assessment is compulsory for all students; testing covers the mother tongue (Slovene, Hungarian, Italian), mathematics and a third subject.

Progress:

Students in the first and second triads do not repeat years. Third-triad students progress to the next year if they achieve a positive assessment in all subjects at the end of the academic year.

Progression:

Successful completion of at least year 7 of nine-year elementary school (or at least year 6 of eight-year elementary school) enables the students to enrol in lower vocational education (SQF, level 3).

Conditions for obtaining a public document:

Elementary schools issue certificates to students at the end of each year. The certificate is a public document.

Elementary schools issue school leaving certificates to students who complete elementary education. The elementary school leaving certificate contains the student's year 9 grades and the student's results from national assessment at the end of the third triad.
