📋 Tender Overview
Assignment of vacancies will not depend on the order of registration on the Digital Registration platformThe Ministry of Education (Minedu) reported that, as of noon today, more than 220,000 students have already registered to access a vacancy in the countrys public educational institutions, in a process aimed only at first-time students, those who transfer from one institution to another or resume studies after an interruption.
This important advance reflects the trust of families in the system and the effort that the sector has been making to guarantee an orderly, transparent and timely process, within the framework of the Good Start of the 2026 School Year.
The Minister of Education, Jorge Figueroa Guzman, pointed out that Minedu continues to carry out permanent monitoring of the system, in coordination with the regional directorates of Education (DRE) and the local educational management units (UGEL), in order to ensure that the enrollment process develops normally in the targeted regions.
Likewise, he recalled that parents have until January 28 to register the vacancy request. No child will be left without enrollment. The educational system has enough installed capacity to meet all demand, he stated.
The Minedu indicated that the vacancies are not assigned by order of entry, date or time of registration on the digital platform, and reiterated the importance of families being informed only through official channels, in order to avoid misinformation or possible irregular procedures.
Regarding the allocation of vacancies, three criteria are applied: priority to students with special educational needs (up to two per classroom); to those who have siblings in the same institution; and others defined by each educational institution, such as proximity to home.
Once the vacancy is assigned and accepted by the parent, the registration is formalized in the Information System to Support the Management of the Educational Institution (SIAGIE), which concludes the process.
The Minedu reiterated that enrollment in public educational institutions is completely free and urged families to report any attempted collection or irregularity to their corresponding UGEL.
Students who continue at the same educational institution do not have to register, since their enrollment is automatic and coordinated directly with each school.
