Abstract: The increasing economic importance of education and human capital in regional and global competition causes demands for better management in education. The links between education levels focusing on the secondary education in Slovenia are analysed by the number of children and adults entering and finishing different types of secondary schools. The secondary education is oriented towards further higher education or towards acquiring vocational qualification. The key driving forces of demand for the secondary education are econometrically tested to provide implications for management in education.

Keywords: management in education; secondary education; demand; higher education; Slovenia; human capital; vocational qualifications.
