We thank our field offices, parents, and learners for their cooperation and support despite personally experiencing challenges brought about by the pandemic. As our learners and parents showed their value for learning in this exercise, we are committed to continue exhausting all means to provide accessible and quality education for all,
Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.
The agency conducted the early registration by using communication platforms like Facebook chats, text messaging, and drop-boxes in schools or barangays in order to ensure the safety of learners, parents and personnel amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Grades 2-6, 8-10, and 12 do not need to participate in the early registration as they are already considered pre-registered.
The Department recorded 991,689 kindergarten, 1,554,556 Grade 1 (elementary school), 1,143,193 Grade 7 (junior high school), and 867,997 Grade 11 (senior high school) early registrants from April to May 31.
According to the Monitoring Report, Calabarzon recorded the highest number of registered learners in the region at 480,709, followed by Central Visayas (405,001) and Western Visayas (387,152).
