Slovakia launches electronic enrollment system for kindergartens

Slovakia's Ministry of Education has launched an electronic enrollment system for kindergartens starting May 1, expanding its new unified ePrihlášky (eApplications) platform. The ministry expects approximately 65,000 to 70,000 applications for kindergarten spots during May. The digital system requires parents to submit applications in order of preference and includes mandatory medical certificates from doctors. Education Minister Tomáš Drucker's ministry is progressively rolling out the electronic enrollment system after previously implementing it for high schools and elementary schools, though the high school launch experienced technical difficulties.
