As of Nov. 15, DepEd records 1,005,073 or 3.83 percent higher than the 26,227,022 enrollment last school year. By sector, public schools enrollment increased by 1,187,632 or by 5.23 percent from last year’s enrolment. The data of the enrollment was cited from the Learner Information System (LIS).
The enrollment data is not yet final as there are still 520 schools – 47 public, 437 private, 25 state universities and colleges or local universities and colleges and 11 Philippine Schools Overseas – that have yet to update their enrollment profile in the LIS,
DepEd added.
The DepEd said the LIS would be open to allow these schools to update their enrollment profile up to the end of this month.
A notification has been sent to Division superintendents of the location of the non-participating schools to find out the reasons why these schools have not updated their enrollment profile and to provide assistance in completing the LIS.
Meanwhile, DepEd noted for the data of transferees that a reversal on the trend where “a net migration of public school learners to private schools” has been observed
More than 612,140 learners transferred from public to private schools, while more than 305,513 learners transferred from private to public schools, for a net transfer from public to private schools of 306,627,
DepEd said.
For the Alternative Learning System (ALS), enrollment is at 239,616 – 359,749 or 60 percent less than last year's 599,365.
The increase in the number of enrollees this year confirms that our learners last year continued their participation in formal school this year and that a considerable number of those who skipped last school year have returned to school,
DepEd said.
The agency added that it is expecting to move close to the enrollment quick count of 28 million with the extension of enrollment updating to end-November and would release a more granular enrollment analysis after November 30.
