The Town Council of Murska Sobota Municipality

The town council of Murska Sobota is aware that the quality of life can also be measured through the opportunities to acquire diverse forms of knowledge. The educational structure of the population of the municipality is distinctly unfavourable. More than 50 percent of job seekers have only completed primary school. Of course the municipality lies in an area with a strong agricultural hinterland. Lower industrial output also means fewer opportunities to raise the educational level: people stayed at home and did not receive education. In the words of Mayor Anton Slavica, the municipality is aware of this fact and because they know that it cannot be changed rapidly, they are striving for long-term guidelines to improve the situation.
