Here’s a school drama that will make you laugh or cry! Only 12 students failed to enroll in high school in the first round, not because they were lazy, but because they either didn’t take the final exam or didn’t fill out their wish list properly. But don’t worry, there’s still hope for them in August! Yes, you read that right — while most are enjoying summer break, these students get a second chance to take the final exam on August 13, 14, and 15 and enroll in school.
This year, students performed better on the final exam, which raised the cutoff scores for enrollment. The biggest interest is in gymnasiums, medical schools, and electrical engineering tracks. So if you thought getting into high school was easy, think again!
Deputy Minister of Education Anđelka Mirković explained that enrollment is open until 3 PM via the ‘My High School’ portal or directly at the school. For those not enrolled, the August enrollment period is a chance to retake the exam or fix mistakes on their wish lists.
Imagine this — while most enjoy summer fun, these students will be preparing for their final exam. Is that fair? Does the system help kids navigate this? Or is this just another sign that our education system is complicated and stressful?
And while the number of unplaced students is shrinking, the question remains: what happens to those who don’t make it even in August? Will there be more rounds? Or will the system just give up on them?
