Arrange a school enrollment examination

Description

Before your child is allowed to go to school, he or she must be examined by a public health officer.
During a school enrolment examination, tests are carried out on speech, motor skills (movement) and knowledge in order to assess your child's level of development.

The doctor will examine your child physically and carry out a hearing and eye test. The school medical examination is required by law.
