Peru Activates Digital Account Ahead of 2026 Public School Enrollment Launch on Jan. 19

Parents can set up the Minedu user from a mobile phone to validate data before requesting a vacancy.

Overview

  • Minedu has enabled the preparatory “usuario digital,” which verifies guardian and student information but does not finalize enrollment.
  • Vacancy requests will be submitted through the official platform at https://matriculadigital.pe, with regional sites such as matriculalima.drelm.gob.pe supporting account creation.
  • The online process is limited to first-time entrants and students transferring between public schools, not those remaining at the same institution.
  • The service is free, and authorities state that no payment should be requested for submitting applications.
  • Initial availability spans 20 UGELs in six regions including Lima Metropolitana and Callao, with guidance indicating a Jan. 19–28 window and public classes beginning Mar. 16 under a 42-week calendar.
