As the organizer of adult education each army has its own educational system. That is also the case in Slovenia. In the past, the military took care of soldiers’ literacy and also other types of education, by giving individuals a lot of skills, which they needed in everyday life. After 1991, Slovenia’s system of military and officers’ education is different from the system in former state formations. Unlike in other states or in most Western European democracies the Slovenian political leadership decided after 1991, not to train officer candidates at military academies. People who have completed the civilian faculty with level VII of education or people who served in military could be enlisted into the Slovenian Armed Forces. Most of the prospective officers then continued education at the School for Officers or the School for Officers of War Units. After 2003, when military conscription was replaced by a professional army, it became necessary for officer candidates to undergo the Basic Military Professional Training or to finish the School for Officers, which lasted 13 months, after completed military service. Today, the program of education and training of officer candidates is divided into three sections and lasts 12 months. After finishing the School for officers, several years of successful work and promotions, the officers re-educate at the Command staff school or equivalent school abroad, since such education is important for their progress and knowledge, which they need to command units, to perform staff functions at the headquarters and in the Slovenian army and NATO abroad.
