      Admission requirements and choice of ECEC setting

      Early childhood education and care institutions usually admit children from the age of 1 year, at the end of parental leave. Children who reach 1 year of age by 31 August of the current year may attend the standard programmes on weekdays. Under certain conditions, children who reach the age of 6–11 months by 31 August of the current year may also be admitted.

      Place guarantee to ECEC

      Public early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions are set up by the local government assembly in accordance with the criteria established by the responsible ministries, as specified in law. In addition to public institutions, there are also private ECEC institutions.

      Alternative structures within secondary education in Bosnia and Herzegovina refer to the alternative organization of teaching, in terms of a different grouping of students, the organization of school hours or a different structure of the program. These alternative structures are mainly present in international high schools and private high schools in BiH.

      The high school curriculum is focused on development and tailored to the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of adolescents.
