Mendoza: Early registration important info

PRIOR to the schedule of the early registration last year, Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor M. Briones released DepEd Order 3, 2018, which contains Basic Education Enrollment Policy for School Year 2018-2019 and the subsequent school years, thereafter, to institutionalize an efficient enrollment process in public and private schools, and state/local universities and colleges (SUCs/LUCs) offering basic education nationwide.

It was mentioned in the issuance that the rules and standards prescribed by this policy uphold the right of learners to enroll in public schools upon presentation of minimum documentary requirements, and to be provided with accessible, relevant, quality and liberating education.

The said guidelines also guarantee the right of learners to enroll in private schools and SUCs/LUCs offering basic education upon the submission of minimum documentary requirements, and satisfaction of other conditions that the educational institution may require, subject to the existing laws and regulations.

Consequently, the issuance repeals DepEd Order 6, s. 2017 entitled “Multi-Year Implementing Guidelines on Early Registration.” All existing orders, memoranda, and other related issuances inconsistent with this policy are hereby repealed, rescinded, or modified accordingly.
