The teaching structure was also reorganized, with one teacher taking over the work previously handled by six teachers. As a result, the following is expected:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>easier communication with the teacher;<\/li>\n<li>better cooperation with the Slovenian community in Croatia in general;<\/li>\n<li>better communication and cooperation with education officials in Vara\u017edin County;<\/li>\n<li>a stable number of students, without major declines;<\/li>\n<li>better informed INV and MIZ\u0160 regarding developments on the ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To improve the quality of instruction and increase the number of students, the following would be necessary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>maintain and renew ties among Slovenian organizations in Croatia (Association of Slovenian Societies in Croatia), especially in Vara\u017edin County, or to renew ties with the Slovenian association in Vara\u017edin; a connection with representatives and councils of the Slovenian minority in the geographical areas where Slovenian language instruction is provided is also necessary, and we expect positive changes in 2023;<\/li>\n<li>promote the Slovenian language and culture in Vara\u017edin County with the aim of increasing the number of students who would enroll in the Slovenian language program; certain activities planned for 2023 are directly related to this;<\/li>\n<li>improve cooperation between teaching staff employed in Croatian elementary schools where the project is being implemented and Slovenian language teachers in Vara\u017edin County;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">provide greater support to teachers in procuring teaching and didactic materials as well as Slovenian books for children and young people;. Despite promises made by Vara\u017edin County in March 2022, the teacher has not yet received the necessary didactic materials. It is expected that, in cooperation with the Union of Slovenian Associations in Croatia, children will receive a certain number of necessary textbooks and copies of the workbook *Zakorakajmo v sloven\u0161\u010dino* in 2023, which would then also facilitate the teacher\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n#accordion-block-block_528df70c99265340dc7dde629aacbc5c {\r\n    \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"accordion-block-block_528df70c99265340dc7dde629aacbc5c\" class=\"block-accordion-block\">\r\n            <div class=\"accordion__wrapper\">\r\n        <div class=\"accordion\">\r\n            <h3><b>Report<\/b><\/h3> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"15\" height=\"23\"\r\n                viewBox=\"0 0 15 23\" fill=\"none\">\r\n                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\r\n                    d=\"M1.04289 22.4359C0.652368 22.0854 0.652368 21.5172 1.04289 21.1667L11.8358 11.4808L1.04289 1.79485C0.652366 1.44438 0.652366 0.876159 1.04289 0.525685C1.43342 0.175216 2.06658 0.175216 2.4571 0.525685L13.9571 10.8462C14.3476 11.1967 14.3476 11.7649 13.9571 12.1154L2.45711 22.4359C2.06658 22.7863 1.43342 22.7863 1.04289 22.4359Z\"\r\n                    fill=\"#959697\" \/>\r\n            <\/svg>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\">\r\n            <p>                                 <a class=\"accordion__content--link\" href=\"https:\/\/inv.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/POROCILO-SRN-VZ-2022-FINAL.pdf\"><svg\r\n                        xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"29\" viewBox=\"0 0 22 29\" fill=\"none\">\r\n                        <path\r\n                            d=\"M21.9226 8.65374L13.1481 0.036284L13.1072 0H4.06868C1.82954 0 0 1.82327 0 4.05474V24.9498C0 27.1767 1.82954 29 4.06868 29H17.9359C20.1705 29 22 27.1767 22 24.9498V8.72631L21.9226 8.65374ZM13.1481 2.26775L19.6516 8.65374H13.1481V2.26775ZM20.4071 24.9498C20.4071 26.3059 19.2967 27.4126 17.9359 27.4126H4.06868C2.70335 27.4126 1.59288 26.3059 1.59288 24.9498V4.05474C1.59288 2.69409 2.70335 1.58743 4.06868 1.58743H11.5552V8.58117C11.5552 9.49734 12.3016 10.2412 13.2255 10.2412H20.4071V24.9498Z\"\r\n                            fill=\"black\" \/>\r\n                        <path\r\n                            d=\"M15.6421 14.1462H6.48076C6.0409 14.1462 5.68432 14.5016 5.68432 14.9399C5.68432 15.3783 6.0409 15.7337 6.48076 15.7337H15.6421C16.082 15.7337 16.4386 15.3783 16.4386 14.9399C16.4386 14.5016 16.082 14.1462 15.6421 14.1462Z\"\r\n                            fill=\"black\" \/>\r\n                        <path\r\n                            d=\"M15.6421 17.6386H6.48076C6.0409 17.6386 5.68432 17.9939 5.68432 18.4323C5.68432 18.8706 6.0409 19.226 6.48076 19.226H15.6421C16.082 19.226 16.4386 18.8706 16.4386 18.4323C16.4386 17.9939 16.082 17.6386 15.6421 17.6386Z\"\r\n                            fill=\"black\" \/>\r\n                        <path\r\n                            d=\"M15.6421 21.1354H6.48076C6.0409 21.1354 5.68432 21.4908 5.68432 21.9292C5.68432 22.3675 6.0409 22.7229 6.48076 22.7229H15.6421C16.082 22.7229 16.4386 22.3675 16.4386 21.9292C16.4386 21.4908 16.082 21.1354 15.6421 21.1354Z\"\r\n                            fill=\"black\" \/>\r\n                    <\/svg><\/a>\r\n\r\n                            <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n<div id=\"content-text-block-block_a9bfbdbcb6a56142d6a034d4d294d310\" class=\"block-content-text-block\">\r\n    <p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 35%\" src=\"https:\/\/inv.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MVZI-logotip.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":6821,"template":"","project-categories":[59],"class_list":["post-9209","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-categories-research-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/9209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inv.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-categories?post=9209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
