The Ministry of Education has announced an extension of the student registration period for public schools in the 2025-2026 academic year by one week. This decision is designed to give parents extra time to complete all necessary enrollment procedures for their children. The registration service encompasses all educational stages, from kindergarten to twelfth grade, across government schools nationwide.

The service caters to several categories of students. Newcomers include first-time students enrolling in kindergarten and first grade. Transfer students are those who wish to move from private schools within the country or from schools outside the country. Additionally, there is the advanced track enrollment, which is available for Emirati students and children of Emirati women in the second cycle (grades five through eight). This track was previously known as the “elite” track and is exclusive to students holding Emirati citizenship.

The extension aims to ensure that all eligible students have sufficient time to complete their registrations without facing any last-minute challenges. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of this additional week to finalize their children’s enrollment processes. The Ministry’s decision reflects its commitment to providing accessible and inclusive education for all students across the country.

By extending the registration period, the Ministry is also helping to alleviate any potential stress or logistical issues that parents might face during the enrollment process. This move is part of broader efforts to enhance the educational experience and support families in navigating the school system effectively.

Parents and guardians are advised to stay informed about the latest updates and guidelines for the registration process. Following reliable news sources can help ensure that they do not miss any important deadlines or announcements related to public school enrollment.
