Primary education
Enrolment in the first grade
Many parents are unsure of what their child needs to know before starting primary school. Before making a decision, child’s knowledge, skills, motor skills and other parameters that are indicative of whether a child is ready for school obligations should be checked
Meals and transport
Primary schools must organise meals for pupils while they are at school, in accordance with prescribed standard serving sizes. Local and regional self-government units must provide the transport for primary school pupils
Assessments and exams
Pupils of one class cannot take more than one exam a day and more than four a week. Oral exams can be conducted in every period without a previous announcement
Activities outside of the classroom and other after-school educational activities
School activities outside of the classroom and other after-school educational activities are a special form of education that enable your child to learn and study in carefully selected locations in nature
Classes at home and at a health care institution
If your child does not attend classes due to their significant motor disabilities, chronic illness or recovery at home, the school will organise classes at your home or in health care institutions treating a larger number of children
Change of school
You shall enrol your child in the nearest primary school, but you can enrol them in another school with a permission granted by that school principal
Pedagogical measures in primary school
A pedagogical measure of a warning, reprimand, severe reprimand or relocation to another school may be imposed on a pupil who behaves inappropriately
