The SEC successfully completes registration for grades 6 and 9

The Education Institute of the Supreme Education Council has announced the successful completion of early registration of grades 6 and 9 students. The process, which began on May 9, 2010, mandated that all students be automatically registered in schools near their homes.

According to a circular sent out to all the operators recently, preparatory and secondary schools were assigned to receive students in grades six and nine respectively from specific schools. Parents were given the option to transfer their children to other schools based on existing vacancies. Students that are not interested to register in the school selected for them by the SEC can have their parents report to the school of their choice. Concerned schools transfer students’ files to their new schools accompanied by official letters.

The SEC announced a few weeks ago a new admissions policy based on electronic registration, which the Information Technology department of the SEC launched last year to help facilitate the registration process. The registration policy was divided into three stages; early registration, new comers registration, and siblings registration. The move is aligned to the SEC’s efforts to regulate the admissions and registration in schools and help ease the registration for parents.
