What differs is Winter holidays — the date shown is when it starts.

State holidays and school vacations in Slovenia

Public holidays in Slovenia are governed by the Holidays and Non-Working Days Act, distinguishing state holidays commemorating national history — such as the Day of Uprising Against Occupation (27 April), Statehood Day (25 June), and Independence and Unity Day (26 December) — from religious and civic non-working days such as Reformation Day (31 October) and Easter.
The school calendar is set by the Ministry of Education. To manage traffic and capacity in alpine ski resorts, the one-week winter break (zimske počitnice) in February is staggered across two regional groups: Eastern Slovenia and Western/Central Slovenia, alternating order each academic year.
