According to DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones, all incoming Kindergarten, Grades 1, 7, and 11 in public elementary and secondary schools shall pre-register. This is to allow the department to make necessary preparations and plans for the coming school year. Grades 2-6, 8-10, and 12, on the other hand, are considered pre-registered and will not need to participate in the early registration.

While early registration is mandatory for public schools, DepEd bared that it is optional for private schools.

“In the context of the prevailing COVID-19 public health emergency, the conduct of early registration shall be done remotely in areas under General Community Quarantine (GCQ).  In-person registration through parents or guardians may be allowed in areas under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) provided physical distancing and health and safety protocols are strictly observed.”

– Secretary Leonor Briones

Thus, for the said early registration activity, the Department of Education has reminded the schools and the public to follow precautionary measures against COVID-19.
