The Department of Education (DepEd) announced that the enrollment figure for School Year 2021-2022 has already breached the turnout of the previous school year.
As of Wednesday (Sept. 15), 26,308,875 learners are registered for SY 2021-2022, or 100.3% compared to last year’s enrollment. The data also shows that 11 out of 17 regions have achieved more than a 100% enrollment rate, indicating that learners who did not enroll last year are returning to the basic education system. We are still expecting the figure to increase since enrollment is extended until Sept. 30.
The DepEd is thanking field offices, school heads, and teachers for their dedication and hard work in encouraging the public to enroll. They are also grateful to the parents of the learners who continue to put their trust and support in DepEd and for learning continuity amidst the pandemic. (DepEd) -bny
