In a survey carried out in June 2023, we included 174 civic education teachers in Slovenia, with a total of 141 teachers responding to the survey. The majority of teachers represented were from primary schools (more than a half) and secondary schools (just under half). The vast majority (46%) see the main aim of this subject area as encouraging pupils' critical and independent thinking, an aim that can be pursued in a crosscuricular way in other subjects. All the other objectives are less important, although some of them aim at subject-specific skills.
