This document summarizes the results of an e-education project in Slovenia that aimed to develop teachers' digital competencies and create e-student books. Over 70% of principals participated in leadership training. The project included 52 online courses that over 20,000 teachers participated in, as well as workshops that engaged over 39,000 participants. Four pilot e-student books were created covering subjects from 4th grade to 1st year of secondary school. The project involved nearly all schools in Slovenia and created online teacher communities and digital tools to support competency assessment.
