With the March 31 deadline quickly approaching, the Education Ministry is reminding and encouraging parents and guardians to complete registration for nursery school admission for the 2026/2027 academic year.
Registration which began on January 12, will officially close on March 31 and education officials are urging parents and guardians to act promptly, warning that failure to register children by the given deadline can affect the receipt of the “Because We are Cash” Grant.
To complete the process, parents are required to present documents to the head teacher of their chosen school for verification. These include a birth certificate, immunisation card, and proof of address, such as a utility bill, bank statement or TIN certificate.
The ministry stated that the children will be placed in the school closet to their homes or their parent’s place of work depending on the availability of space.
In terms of eligibility, children born on or before June 30, 2023 will qualify for nursery school entry in September. Each child must turn three years old on or before June 30, 2026 to be considered eligible.
The ministry said that parents who do not currently possess documents are advised to visit the Department of Education in their respective regions for assistance.
The ministry further noted that placement will be guided by its official policy, and the Department of Education reserves the right to refuse placement where inaccurate information is provided.
However, officials emphasised that no child will be denied entry into nursery school due to missing documents.
