Online registration for the upcoming academic year 2025/2026 will be available through the designated electronic application on the Ministry of Education's Information Centre portal.
According to a ministry statement, the step aims to ease procedures for parents and expand the use of a unified digital platform across all governorates, continuing efforts from previous years.
The website will also enable parents to monitor the status of the preliminary admission process and pay school fees through various online payment tools.
The ministry said children must be between six and nine years old to enrol in first grade, and at least four years old to join kindergarten.
Placement will be handled by local education directorates based on school capacity and regional conditions.
Parents can submit the student’s paper file after results are announced and follow up on the final acceptance.
Moreover, the ministry clarified that the school can assist parents with filling out the application after reviewing the child's official birth certificate and the guardian’s national ID in case the guardian is unable to register online.
In cases of legal custody, the court ruling must be presented.
Regarding non-Egyptian students, the guardian must submit the admission documents to the local educational administration, which will review the paperwork and inform the schools of accepted students.
School principals must then register these students' data in the central database.
Recently, the ministry announced that the 2025/26 school year will run from 20 September 2025 to 11 June 2026, spanning 36 weeks.
Final exams for the first term for transfer grades will begin on 10 January 2026, while second-term exams are set to start on 16 May.
For preparatory certificate students, first-term exams will kick off on 17 January and second-term exams on 4 June.
