The first contact should be in primary schools. Usually it is in the first grade (6 years old), but it is not strictly given, some schools may start in second grade or even later. For the first four years (6-9 years old) there is a compulsory subject with three hours per week called “informatics education”. (It means one hour/week in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year or 3h/week in any year, which is probably not a sensible scenario, but schools can choose how they allocate hours.)

In Slovakia, there is a special subject called “informatics”, which is a blend of Digital Literacy (ICT) and (theoretical) Informatics (algorithms, algorithmic thinking, problem solving, programming, ...).

One can say that in the first grades there is more about using ICT and less Informatics. Digital literacy was never a special subject in Slovakia. On the other hand it is spread and integrated with other subjects too (but to which extent depends heavily on the teacher, mostly it is only basic ICT skills).
