In recent years we witness a new (although not the first one) outburst of interest in school informatics and educational programming, including its implementation at lower secondary and even primary stages. Slovakia is most probably the champion in this area when informatics was established as a mandatory subject at lower secondary level already at 2005 and at primary level three year later, in 2008. In my presentation I will characterise the actual state of this process, its successes, and its obstacles and potential risk factors.
