The visit of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education to this central state educational rehabilitation institution for physically challenged children and adolescents took place in the week before March 1, which the Government of the Republic of Slovenia declared last year to be the day of inclusion.
Children and young people from the CIRIUS center enriched the visit with a dance and music performance, and later the Prime Minister Dr. Robert Golob and the Minister of Education Dr. Vinko Logaj also saw the work in the institution, which in 2024 was enriched with a new, energy-efficient extension, financed by the Ministry of Education with European and integral funds, in a total value of 4.2 million euros. The director of the institute, Samo Rumez, presented the current operation of the institute in more detail, and the conversation also focused on future development.
In continuation of the regional visit to the Central Slovenian region, the minister visited Menges, where the foundation stone for the construction of a new kindergarten will soon be laid, after two units were flooded in a severe storm in 2023. A new kindergarten with 16 sections is expected to open in March 2027, and the Ministry of Education will also publish a tender worth 40 million euros next month, which will enable municipalities to co-finance the construction or renovation of the facilities of educational institutions that suffered damage in the floods in 2023. Minister Logaj also visited the modular unit of the Menges kindergarten, where the preschool education program is temporarily implemented.
In the afternoon, Minister Logaj viewed the construction of a new kindergarten in Smartno pri Litija, which will have 17 sections, a new kitchen and dining room, and is expected to start operating at the end of 2027. The Ministry of Education will contribute 1.9 million euros to the investment.
The minister concluded the field visit with a tour of the new satellite emergency center at the Litija health center.
