Parents, brace yourselves for the enrollment chaos in high schools! The ‘My High School’ portal, which is supposed to make the enrollment process easier, is actually causing a mess due to outdated and incomplete health data. Yes, you read that right! Important health check data for your child might not be updated on the portal, and this could literally ruin their chances of getting into the desired educational program.
Health requirements are not just a formality. Certain programs require strict criteria. If a student does not meet these health conditions, they won’t be able to enroll in that program, and worse, they won’t be able to submit a new wish list in the next enrollment round. So, if the portal has outdated or incomplete data and you don’t have the paper health certificate, get ready for a real drama!
Although it sounds like everything is digital and automated, health check data is not updated immediately. The ‘My High School’ portal automatically pulls information from the health information system, but that system often delays updates or has incomplete data. That’s why they strongly recommend keeping the paper health certificate — without it, enrollment can be denied.
The deadline to submit or change the wish list is July 2nd at 3 PM. Parents can change the wish list multiple times, but only until that deadline. There is no limit on the number of changes, just don’t be late! If you think that’s enough time, think again — administrative chaos and outdated data can cost you the desired school spot.
To make matters worse, many parents are not even aware of this problem. The portal and responsible services urge parents to pay attention to health requirements and not rely solely on digital data. Keep your paper certificate like a golden ticket because without it, the system might fail you.
In short, the digitalization of high school enrollment in Serbia is far from perfect. Instead of making life easier for parents and students, the ‘My High School’ portal can cause chaos due to outdated health data. If you don’t want your child to miss out on their desired program, double-check everything and keep every paper certificate you get.
So, while you’re struggling with this, ask yourself — is this really the future of education? Or just another bureaucratic nightmare? If you have similar experiences or think this is absurd, drop a comment below and share your thoughts. Let the voices of parents fighting this system be heard!
