Formal tertiary education in visual arts is provided by the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, which offers a range of subjects including Painting, Sculpture, Video, Visual Communication Design, Industrial Design and Restoration in Ljubljana. In addition to this, students of the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana and the Faculty of Education, University of Maribor are trained to teach visual arts at primary or secondary schools. In years gone by most visual arts teachers at Slovene primary and secondary schools were painting or sculpture graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts who had taken a special exam in pedagogics, but today they comprise mainly Faculty of Education graduates who have specialised in visual arts education.
