The revolution in high school admissions is approaching. The minister announced the date of the change

Changes to entrance exams for secondary schools in the Czech Republic are proposed to take effect in spring 2029, allowing ninth-grade students to submit up to five applications. The new system would require students to take tests before applying to schools, addressing long-standing concerns from experts about the current process. Education Minister Robert Plaga announced that the proposal aims to alleviate stress for applicants and better align student demand with school capacity. The new rules would apply to all ninth graders, while the current system remains for multi-year gymnasiums. Additionally, preparations for the exams will include new resources and practice tests for students.
