The Slovene school system has seen a number of changes in recent years, aiming to raise awareness of educational rights and thereby achieve a higher educational level.
The climate of the Slovenia can be described as typical European continental influenced climate with warm, dry summers and fairly cold winters, while the coastal areas and the lowlands in the south have a mediterranean influenced climate.
Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, celebrates New Year's Eve with parties and concerts. While the main square is the center of activities, festivities can be enjoyed in other areas of the city, too.
