Visit to EXPO Exhibition Planned for Primary and Secondary School Students in Vojvodina

Students from elementary and secondary schools in Vojvodina, Serbia, are scheduled to visit the specialized EXPO 2027 exhibition in Belgrade. The visit is now included in the school calendar for the region, following a similar provision made by the Ministry of Education for students across Serbia.

The provincial secretariat for education has incorporated a one-day visit to the EXPO 2027 exhibition into the annual school work plans. This visit is designated to take place between May 17 and June 25.

Initially, the Ministry of Education had included the EXPO visit in its calendar for students nationwide. This has now been replicated for students in Vojvodina. The inclusion of this item in the school calendar has drawn criticism.

In response to concerns, the Ministry of Education stated that organized visits are not mandatory school activities. The decision to participate rests with each individual school. Similar to other optional excursions, field trips, and extracurricular activities, minors can only participate with the prior consent of their parents or legal guardians. This approach ensures that families retain the right to decide independently on their children's involvement in activities outside the regular curriculum.
