From September when the new school year begins, all primary and secondary schools in Slovenia will offer the possibility to study the Chinese language as an optional subject, according to the newspaper Dnevnik. Students in the last three years of primary school (which ends at 14 years of age) and all secondary schools will have the opportunity to study the language spoken by 1.5 billion and studied by 40 million people throughout the world.
