On the third day, there are 442, 850 learners who enrolled for the incoming SY according to the latest data.
The “Quick Count” - which uses the Learner Information System (LIS) as the database - showed that there are 395, 717 learners who are currently enrolled in public schools; 45, 562 in private schools and 1, 571 in SUCs/LUCs.
Meanwhile, DepEd Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan stressed that the said enrollment data is still subject to some changes.
“Like last year, this is based on Quick Count, meaning this is from submission by field of number of enrollees,” Malaluan said. “There are still possible duplicates,” he added.
Should there be “duplicates,” Malaluan said that these will be “corrected automatically” once the Beginning of the School Year (BOSY) module of the student profile starts on Sept. 13.
The unique Learner Reference Number (LRN) of students, he added, will also resolve these duplicates.
Due to the ongoing public health situation in the country brought about by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, DepEd is implementing a remote enrollment system to ensure everyone's safety.
