Minedu Reaffirms Digital-Only School Enrollment for Lima Starting Jan. 19

The ministry is tightening oversight after queues outside schools to ensure families use the official site.

Overview

  • The digital enrollment window runs from January 19 to March 6, while non-digital districts are registering in person from January 5 to March 6.
  • Lima Metropolitana will process all public-school intakes exclusively through matriculadigital.pe, the sole authorized channel for new entries, reentries, and transfers.
  • The platform covers 20 targeted UGELs across Lima Metropolitana, Callao, and selected areas of Arequipa, Tacna, Moquegua, and Lima Provincias; other UGELs remain in the in-person modality.
  • Minedu reminded families that enrollment is free and cannot be tied to uniform purchases or parent-association payments, urging reports of irregularities to UGELs.
  • After parents queued outside schools despite the online system, the ministry began supervisory visits and reiterated rules including the March 31 cutoff for initial-level age eligibility and SIAGIE registration once a vacancy is accepted.
