      Since 2010 (when the quota was 12.000 new work permits), the Government did not adopt a decree laying down annual work permit quota to limit the number of new work permits, meaning that in 2011 and 2012 the number of new work permits was not limited.

      The quota otherwise applies to aliens without pre-existing residence permits in Slovenia and thus does not apply to aliens already holding personal work permits and citizens of EEA member states.

       Based on the 2011 Employment and Work of Aliens Act, aliens with permanent residence permits and refugees have free access to the labour market based on their status and do not need to apply for a work permit.

      There is no official data available on the number of pupils with migrant background in schools in Slovenia.

      Estimations based on data on integration measures indicate that in the primary, secondary and tertiary education in Slovenia more than 10.000 of pupils and students do have a migrant background.

      Number 10000

      Qualitative Info

      The education authorities in Slovenia are not allowed to collect data on number and ethnic structure of pupils who are not citizens of Slovenia.

      Despited that, from certain measures aimed at integration of pupils and students with migrant background (such as additional funding provided by the Ministry of Education to schools for additional lessons of Slovenian language to pupils and students to whom it is not the first lanugage, and  a scholarship scheme provided by the state to foreign students enrolled at the universities in Slovenia) it is possible to conclude that there are between 6 and 7 thousand of pupils with migrant background in primary schools in Slovenia, and around 2 thousand students in tertiary education, while number of pupils in secondary schools is difficult to estimate.

    • Total of pupils of Roma parents in schools

      157 children of Roma parents in kindergartens, 1349 pupils in primary schools, around 40 pupils in secondary schools and around 12 students at universities.

      Also around 500 adult Roma included in education and training programs for adults.

      Number 2000

      Qualitative Info

      According to the Strategy for education of Roma in Slovenia, adopted by the Ministry of Education in 2004, there were  in the 2002/2003 school year 157 children of Roma parents enrolled in kindergartens in Slovenia, and 1349 pupils of Roma parents enrolled in primary schools.

      The number of students enrolled in secondary schools and university programs indicated in the 2004 Strategy is not so reliable since it refers to the data collected by the Roma Association in Slovenia. It indicates the number of around 40 students of Roma parents enrolled in secondary schools. Another source - membership in Roma Academic Club - indicates around 12 university students, members of Roma community.

      The Strategy from 2004 also indicates the number of around 500 adult Roma included in various educational and training programs for adults.

      If we count all Roma included in various levels and forms of education in Slovenia we can estimate that it is a number of around 2.000 members of Roma community (including adult education).
