Education Ministry sends schools guidance on EXPO visits
N1/Beta writes that the Education Ministry sent primary and secondary schools in Serbia guidance for organizing study visits to EXPO 2027 in Belgrade. The visits should run from May 17 to June 25, 2027, within the 2026/2027 education program; they are not a replacement for excursions or outdoor school, are not mandatory, and require prior parent or legal-guardian consent for minors. Schools should inform parents about the program, transport, and other important details; transport and tickets are promised free regardless of family or school resources.
Kurir: pupils can visit EXPO in organized groups, transport and tickets free
Kurir reports the same Education Ministry guidance and highlights the practical point: school visits to EXPO 2027 are planned from May 17 to June 25, 2027, transport and entry tickets for pupils should be free, and participation is not mandatory. The outlet also stresses that schools should include visits in their plans and take pupil and parent interest into account.
Overall takeaway
After the dispute over whether visits are voluntary, a concrete procedural document is now out: it sets dates and free transport/tickets, but leaves the decision to schools and parents.
What this means for residents
For parents
Schools should inform parents about the program, transport, and other important details before consent is given.
For schools
Visits should be built into the school's annual plan and curriculum, with pupil and parent interest checked.
Not a trip replacement
The ministry frames the visits as an additional learning opportunity, not a replacement for excursions or outdoor school.
