Education | DSEJ mulls unified registration for kindergarten enrolment

The Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEJ) is pondering the implementation of a unified registration system for the enrolment of kindergarten students. In the meantime, some parents raised public concerns over the reliability of reporting on the enrolment situation from different media outlets.
Some citizens voiced their concerns on a TDM talk show, suggesting that DSEJ should consider establishing an online unified registration system.
Representatives from the bureau advised that parents should pay close attention to schools and DSEJ for official updates. One of the DSEJ representatives said: “Everybody please believe the school, because when the schools make a promise, they will announce it together with DSEJ in order to provide an accurate source to the public.”
DSEJ said that the related set-up of the enrolment system was already in the works. “I think the unified registration should be communicated with the school,” said Leong Vai Kei, head of DSEJ’s Education Department. “If we actually implement it, we will announce it then. The reason is because we will discuss our preliminary proposals with schools by the end of the month. We are confident that the measures will be successful in Macau’s operation.”
However, she hoped that such measures would not affect students’ choice of schools. Enrolment results from different schools will be posted on the 25th of this month.
