DepEd, paiigtingin ang Age Requirements for Incoming Pupils

As per DepEd �Basic Education Enrollment Policy� or DO No. 3 s. of 2018 only �children aged five years old by August 31 of the school year they will enroll in� are eligible to enroll in Kindergarten.

In its basic education policy, DepEd cited that for Grade 1, only �children who have completed Kindergarten programs in DepEd accredited schools and centers� and those who are �six years old and above by August 21 of the school year they will enroll in� are eligible.

Incoming Grade 7 students should be Grade 6 graduates or a passer of Philippine Education and Placement Test (PETP) or Accreditation and Equivalency Test of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) and for Grade 11, they should be Grade 10 completers and also a passer PETP or ALS A&E.

This coming school year, the Department of Education (DepEd) will be more �strict� with the compliance of age requirements for particular grade levels prior to enrollment in both public and private schools.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in an earlier interview, said DepEd will be �strict� on the age requirement for incoming pupils � particularly those in the Kindergarten, Grades 1, 7 and 11 who will be covered by the ongoing Early Registration in all public schools nationwide.

�We will be strict on age [requirement],� said Briones when asked about the challenges in the conduct of Early Registration. For the incoming School Year (SY) 2019-2020, DepEd has set January 26 to February 22 to enlist incoming students in select grade levels.
