DepEd urges schools to use drop boxes, online platforms for early registration

On Wednesday, March 31, the Department of Education (DepEd) advised public schools to utilize drop boxes and online platforms in conducting the early registration for School Year 2021-2022.


An early registration is being held by the department for incoming Kindergarten, Grades 1, 7, and 11 students in public elementary and secondary schools until April 30 in preparation for the upcoming school year.
Early registration forms will be available in barangay halls and other public spaces. An early registration drop-box will be made available for parents or guardians to collect and submit the forms in these identified places,
Education Undersecretary Jesus Mateo said.

He added that the early registration would only be allowed in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) and school division superintendents may also still implement full remote early registration in MGCQ areas depending on the risk assessment level of the concerned area.

He also said that parents and guardians are they only ones allowed to transact within the school premises for early registration, while remote registration can be done by personally calling the school or through online platforms.

Mateo urged schools to set up hotlines and make their contact details available to the public so they could answer questions and concerns related to early registration.

Currently, DepEd has no definite date yet on the start of SY 2021-2022.
