Borut Rončević wrote that following the announcement of a comprehensive reform of education, he experienced increasing political and media pressure. He described the story about airline tickets as an attempt to discredit the responsible minister and a political showdown, but added that ministers are obliged to explain the use of public money. According to him, information about the travel habits of previous governments shows that the current outrage is not due to concern for public finances, but rather opposition to the reform. Rončević believed that unions and the educational establishment had too much influence on education policy in the past. He attributed a legitimate role to unions in representing employees, but said their influence should not include veto power over the substantive direction of the reform. He also claimed that the educational establishment had harmed the system in the last three decades by following a progressive ideology. Regarding the left and the Left, he wrote that they sought ideological hegemony primarily through the fields of education and culture. He emphasized that in preparing the reform, teachers, principals, parents, students, researchers, local communities, and the economy are involved, while unions should participate in discussions about salaries, working conditions, and employee rights. In his view, those politically responsible should decide on the direction of changes based on data and professional analyses. As ten starting points for the reform, he listed a greater emphasis on knowledge, high standards, the development of students' potentials, work ethic, patriotic and civic education, ideological neutrality, the authority of teachers, early literacy, digital and other knowledge for the future, and broader responsibility in shaping school policy. Rončević announced the relocation of the ministry to Novo mesto, a reduction in the number of employees, and strict limitations on remote work. He stated that the success of the reorganization should be measured by faster responses, timely resolution of issues, lower costs, clearer distribution of responsibilities, and user satisfaction. He wrote that the reform has the support of a broader public, parents, teachers, and the coalition, according to the data he presented. He expected even more pressure, including media publications, reports to the Commission for Prevention of Corruption, criminal charges, petitions, and interpellations, and announced that he would not abandon or soften the changes because of them. #reformaizobraževanja #javnofinanciranje #politika (translated)

Sara Stepanjan asked for opinions about an idea for a series of short conversations titled "In the Footsteps of Heroes," aimed at young people. She mentioned that she would like to present the stories of individuals who survived the communist regime, wars, injustices, or illnesses, as well as those who felt alone in their struggles and spoke up when others remained silent. As she wrote, she would ask them about their lives before the difficult events, what helped them persevere, and what they would like young people to know. The conversations would be published in short clips, and participants could share a voice recording or a letter instead of appearing on camera. Stepanjan added that she believes her parents were heroes, and she called on people to share their suggestions and tell who their hero is. #Mladi #Resnica #Heroji (translated)

Ciril wrote that he had heard rumors that someone had threatened a woman, among other things, that they had threatened to push her off the road. He believed that the threats could be real if the new leadership team in healthcare endangered the interests of the supplier mafia, as large sums of money circulate in healthcare, according to him. As another possibility, he mentioned that a criminal group, which he said was running the country from behind the scenes and stealing public money, might act against the Democrats after a failure with Resnica. If the rumors were true, it would be understandable, in his opinion, that the woman was afraid for her life. In this context, he recalled the death of Dušan Konda, which he labeled a suspicious suicide after the failed attempt to bribe members of parliament from Resnica. Ciril also wrote that people might not realize the seriousness of the intervention in the flow of public money into private pockets. According to estimates by experts and institutions he referred to, Slovenia is said to have lost about 3.5 billion euros a year due to corruption, or 10 million euros a day. #korupcija #politika #Slovenija (translated)
