Uruguay vs Slovenia
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Uruguay
Every Uruguayan primary school child receives a free laptop through the Plan Ceibal program.
Uruguay was the first country to implement one-laptop-per-child nationally, giving every public school student a device and internet access since 2007.
Slovenia
Slovenian kindergartens take children into the forest daily, rain or shine.
Slovenia's forest kindergarten tradition means children spend hours outdoors building shelters, climbing trees, and exploring nature every day.
Uruguay
Uruguay follows a 6-3-3 system. Spanish is the language of instruction. Education is free, secular, and compulsory from ages 4 to 14. Plan Ceibal provides every student with a laptop and internet connectivity.
Slovenia
Slovenia follows a 9-3 or 9-4 system with compulsory education from ages 6 to 15. Slovene is the language of instruction. Italian and Hungarian are used in bilingual border areas. The system emphasizes outdoor education and well-rounded development.
