Meanwhile, Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones encouraged students who were not able to enroll last school year to register for this new school year.
As we continuously prepare for a smooth opening of classes, we are urging parents and learners to communicate with their respective schools for the enrollment procedures. I also call those who did not enroll last school year to register now,
she said.
The DepEd provided a range of options to facilitate the enrollment of learners in all public schools in basic education and Alternative Learning System (ALS) programs nationwide as per DepEd Order 032, series of 2021.
To optimize the process and ensure the protection of health and safety of our education stakeholders, schools may facilitate dropbox enrollment through setting up booths and kiosk in front of the school, barangay hall, and other visible locations that are accessible to parents and guardians, subject to health and safety standards imposed by the IATF,
said Sec. Briones.
DepEd said that for incoming Grades 1-6, 8-10, and 12 learners, schools will contact their parents through their previous class advisers.
In contrast, parents of incoming kindergarten, Grades 7 & 11 learners shall communicate/re-affirm their intent to enroll their children to a school of their choice via digital and/or physical enrollment platforms established by schools which is similar to procedures in early registration.
Transferees, Balik-Aral, and ALS enrollees must directly contact their preferred school through its published enrollment contact details.
Meanwhile, DepEd has also postponed the submission of documentary requirements for public and private schools to December 31, 2021. Schools shall not compel learners and their parents or guardians to take responsibility for the transmission of school records.
Enrollment started last August 16 and will run until the opening of classes on September 13.
