Of the running total, there are 20, 029, 767 enrollees in public schools; 1, 668, 489 students enrolled in private schools; and 53, 292 learners in SUCs/LUCs.

The SY 2021-2022 formally opened in public schools on Sept. 13. DepEd welcomed the new school year by holding a National School Opening Day program held virtually.

On the first week of school opening, DepEd expressed optimism that more learners will enroll this school year.

“The enrollment report is still on a steady upward trend,” Undersecretary and Chief of Staff Nepomuceno Malaluan said.

Taking into consideration the reporting lag and several regions already surpassing 100 percent of last year's enrollment, Malaluan said that “there is indication not only of our learners from last year continuing this year, but also that some of our learners who opted to skip last SY are coming back.” DepEd also thanked teachers and school leaders for the “encouraging enrollment turnout rate” for the new school year.

In order to encourage more parents and guardians to enroll the children this school year, DepEd has extended the enrollment period for public schools until Sept. 30, 2021.
