Danas reports that the new 2026/27 calendars for primary and secondary schools in Vojvodina require schools to plan one-day student visits to the specialized EXPO exhibition between May 17 and June 25, 2027. The Education Ministry had earlier said such visits are not a mandatory part of school activities and depend on each school's decision and parental consent.

Vojvodina school calendars also prescribe planning a visit to EXPO

(I u kalendarima rada škola u Vojvodini propisano da se predvidi poseta Ekspu)

Danas says the 2026/27 educational calendars for primary and secondary schools in Vojvodina, published on June 18, include the same wording as the Education Ministry calendars: schools should use their annual plans to provide for one-day student visits to the specialized EXPO exhibition between May 17 and June 25, 2027. The documents were signed by Robert Otot, the provincial secretary for education, regulations, administration, and national minorities. After criticism from part of the public, the Education Ministry had earlier explained that organized visits to EXPO are not mandatory school activities: each school decides separately based on the interest of pupils, teachers, and parents, while minors may participate only with prior consent from parents or legal guardians. The ministry also announced professional guidance for schools on planning, organizing, and carrying out the study visit.
