Board of Studies is essentially a name change from the forerunner VCAB. From 1993 onwards it continued and administratively ironed out the preceding reforming work of VCAB. The ISSV archives of years 1993 – 2001 reflect and document the examination setting, vetting, verification and assessment process with the focus on Slovenian language. It also reveals the scope and size of the system that covers over 80,000 finishing secondary students each school year across a broad range of subjects.
