"More than 12 million learners in the basic education level from both public and private schools have already enrolled for the incoming School Year (SY) 2020-2021, the Department of Education (DepEd) said on Friday.
On the third week of the month-long enrollment this June, DepEd national data for SY 2020-2021 as of June 19 showed that the total number of enrollees has reached 12,768,466 nationwide for Kindergarten to Grade 12 in both formal and informal education systems.
Since June 1, the DepEd has implemented remote enrollment through alternative means of communication that do not require physically reporting to school, such as text, call, email, and online messaging. On June 16, DepEd also opened drop boxes and kiosks in barangay halls and schools, where parents who do not have access to remote means of communication may pick up or drop off the Learner Enrollment and Survey Form (LESF).
Currently, there are 12,319,956 learners enrolled in public schools and 439,520 have registered in private schools.
The national enrollment data covers public and private schools as well as State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) and learners across all basic education level including Kindergarten, Elementary or Grades 1 to 6, Junior High School (JHS) or Grades 7 to 10, and Senior High School (SHS) or Grades 11 and 12. Also included are non-graded learners with disabilities and those under the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program."
