Early registration in public schools nationwide officially began today.
In an announcement, the Department of Education (DepEd) said the registration covers incoming Kindergarten pupils, as well as students entering Grades 1, 7, and 11 for School Year 2026–2027.
According to the agency, early registration is important as it helps schools determine the expected number of enrollees for the coming school year.
This, in turn, allows schools to plan properly and assess whether their resources will be sufficient.
Early registration will be open until February 27.
Meanwhile, while it is not mandatory, DepEd is encouraging private schools to also conduct early registration.
