DepEd / MANILA BULLETIN

In spite of the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation in the country, DepEd’s Early Registration Monitoring Report as of May 3 showed that there are 4,254,141 learners nationwide in Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 7, and Grade 11 who have registered early for the upcoming school year.

“Public schools will continue to accept early registrants until May 31, 2021,” DepEd said in a Facebook post.

The early registration was scheduled from March 26 to April 30. However, it was extended until the end of May to give parents and guardians more time to register the children.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, DepEd is implementing remote applications through online or through text.

“Physical registration in schools and barangays in low-risk areas will strictly follow public health and safety protocols,” DepEd said.

Among regions, the DepEd latest data showed the highest numbers of registered learners are recorded in Calabarzon with 427,583; Region VII with 394,262; and Region VI with 362,063.

Only incoming learners in Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 7, and Grade 11 are enjoined to register early. Grade 1 has the most number of early registrants with 1, 490, 647; Grade 7 with 1, 049, 298; Kinder with 919, 428; and Grade 11 with 794, 768.

DepEd reminded that learners in Grades 2 to 6, 8 to 10, and 12 are already considered pre-registered. Given this, they do not need to participate in the early registration.

The early registration is an annual activity which aims to ensure that learners in the said grade levels are pre-registered before the school year officially opens.

The data gathered from this initiative will enable DepEd and its schools to make necessary preparations for the upcoming school year.

While early registration is mandatory for public schools, DepEd said that the activity is optional for private schools at the basic education level.

In April, DepEd confirmed that a tentative date for the opening of SY 2021-2022 has been set on Aug. 23. However, the agency clarified that the said school opening date remains a recommendation and that the final decision will be approved by President Duterte.

Given the current health situation in the country, DepEd said that it will be “proposing various options for the President’s consideration” related to the school opening.
