“We are very happy with the outcome of our early registration,” Education Secretary Leonor Briones said on Thursday, May 6. “It surpasses our expectations when it comes to the number of learners and parents willing to start or continue their studies,” she added.
Latest data from DepEd showed that around 4.3 million learners in Kindergarten, Grade 1, 7, and 11 were able to register for the upcoming school year before the official early registration period ended on April 30. The activity started on March 26.
With over four million learners already signed up for the next school year, DepEd decided to extend the campaign until the end of this month.

“We understand the situation right now,” DepEd Undersecretary for Human Resource and Organizational Development Jesus Mateo told the Manila Bulletin on Wednesday, April 28.
Recognizing the difficulty that learners and parents or guardians might be facing due to quarantine restrictions imposed in their respective areas and other related concerns, DepEd said that certain adjustments will be made to accommodate those who still wish to register early.
“We are aware of the difficulty of registering your child or children within the time frame of early registration,” Mateo told the parents and guardians.
The early registration for School Year (SY) 2021-2022 started on March 26 and will be open until Friday, April 30, 2021.
