Abstract: In 2003 and 2004, research on information and communication technology (ICT) presence and usage was conducted among tertiary education institutions in Slovenia. The basic purpose of the research was to draw up indicators for EU comparisons, following the requirements of Eurostat. The paper mainly presents findings from the second study, in which 85% Slovenian higher education institutions responded to the mail survey. Some interesting findings arose between private and public schools and across study fields as well. The majority of students in Slovenia study at public schools. Business studies are the most popular field for Slovenian students. Business schools are much better equipped than other schools and therefore have better conditions for e-learning. In fact e-learning is more often used at business schools than elsewhere. The research indicated that school management is aware of the opportunities brought by e-learning and its strategic impact for the further development of institutions. Therefore the situation in Slovenia is mature for further e-learning development.
