NONFORMAL EDUCATION
When Slovakian citizens gain access to the Internet, they will greatly increase opportunities for informal education. The extent of the influence of the Internet in Slovakian education is yet undetermined. In the capital of Brataslava, the Open University of Great Britain has an established outlet. A second distance learning institution, this one from the United States, City University registered in Spokane, Washington, offers programs for U.S. college credits.

just a brief comments: the only official language in Slovakia is Slovak, the capital city is Bratislava, not Brataslava, the adjective of Slovakia is Slovak, thus Slovak citizens, Slovak education and so on. thanks
