The recent PISA results from 2009 that were published in December 2010 showed that Slovene 15-year olds students' average reading scores are lower than the scores of their counterparts in the OECD and the EU. Since the majority of 15-year olds in Slovenia attend the first grades of the upper secondary education, the question of literacy levels of all students attendingthe first grades of the upper secondary education regardless of their age becomes relevant for the preparation of the intended and implemented curricula. Using the Slovenian national addition to the PISA 2009 database that includes the data for this population, the proportion of students reaching the highest proficiency levels and the proportion of students not reaching the baseline proficiency levels in the reading, mathematics and science literacy are examined, the focus being in the overlapping of the attainments across the literacy areas. Since the upper secondary education in Slovenia is structured in diff erent educational programs, the analyses are carried out separately by these programs and additionally by gender and groups of students with different socio-economic background. Expectedly, the highest levels of proficiency are mostly attained by students in academic programs and a very small percentage of students in professional programs. Attainment of baseline proficiency in all three areas is a problem area for nearly a tenth of students in professional programs, half of students in the middle vocational programs and three quarters of students in the lower vocational programs.
