5 days remain for in-person registration for govt schools

With just five days remaining, government school registration and transfer procedures at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education's summer centres are in their final stages. The centres will close on August 13 to make way for the 2026-27 academic year. The ministry has emphasized the importance of accurate residential information, as it affects school allocation based on students' residential areas.

Parents can now utilize the Parent Profile service on the Maaref portal to update their information and follow registration and transfer requests electronically. This service aims to streamline administrative procedures and provide parents with greater reassurance in their children's educational journey. While digital services are the main route for registration, physical support remains available for those who need it, particularly for cases requiring document verification or direct intervention.

Summer centres have been designated to handle registration and transfer applications during the holiday period until August 13. Parents must provide necessary documentation, such as identity cards, birth certificates, and student health files, as well as employment documentation for certain categories of resident students. The ministry has also expanded electronic services for students with disabilities, with registration procedures varying based on individual needs.
