Ľubomír Blaho:Talentová politika na Slovensku
Full paper(Talent Policy in Slovakia)

Abstract: The article focuses on current support for talent in Slovakia and opportunities for its development. Slovakia is creating frameworks that combine state regulation, legislative amendments, financing of organizations working with young people, and national projects aimed at developing talent. The key pillars are state subsidies for organizations working with talented youth, funding for competitions and subject Olympiads as a means of identifying and supporting talent, and the preparation of national projects financed by European structural and investment funds. Support for mathematics has a special status as one of the main areas of support and development of talent in children and pupils. Mathematics develops logical and analytical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, and therefore represents a fundamental pillar of systemic talent support. The main institutions in the field of talent support are the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic and the National Institute of Education and Youth, which oversee legislative frameworks, competitions, subject Olympiads, and other state policies. The challenge remains to ensure stable funding, equal opportunities, and effective coordination between ministries and sectors.
