Kristina Kallas says that next academic year, admission to high schools and vocational schools should be smoother.
Schools will use a unified admission schedule. This will help basic school graduates find a place more easily.
Students can apply through SAIS. There they can choose schools and prioritize them in order of preference.
The SAIS preference system will be improved. Starting in January, schools can enter their admission requirements into SAIS.
Students can submit applications from March 29 to May 18. They can apply to multiple schools.
The order of preference is important. Schools see who chose them first.
Basic school final exams will take place from April 28 to May 11. Students will receive their exam results on May 12.
Exam results will be entered into EHIS on May 17. Students can still change their preferences if their exams went poorly.
Schools must make offers to students by June 11. Students who receive offers should accept them quickly.
Continuation admissions begin in July. It ends on August 23, which is earlier than last year.
Teachers must return from vacation earlier. This forces them to rest less in August.
The number of vacation days for teachers will not change. Teachers who worked in July can take longer breaks in August.
SAIS will make admission easier. Students will see all available places in one place.
School leaders say they are trying to find solutions. They hope next year will be smoother.
