Overview
- The Ministry of Education confirmed two modalities for 2026 enrollment: in‑person registration and the centralized digital system at matriculadigital.pe.
- Digital requests will be the only official channel for vacancy applications in the selected institutions within Lima Metropolitana, Callao, Lima Provincias, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna.
- In‑person timeline: applications January 2–11, review January 12–18, assignment January 19–30, and SIAGIE registration January 31–February 4, 2026.
- For initial education, children must be 3 years old by March 31, 2026 to enroll in the three‑year group, a cutoff the minister framed as a developmental safeguard.
- MINEDU reiterated that public school enrollment is free, will follow priority criteria, and will include on‑site assistance points to help families use the digital channel.
