ILOILO City – Enroll your children early, the Department of Education (DepEd) in Region 6 urged parents and guardians.
School Year 2022 – 2023 begins on Aug. 22. Enrollment in public and private schools starts on July 25.
According to Hernani Escullar Jr., regional information officer of DepEd-6, enrollment ends on Aug. 22, citing DepEd Order No. 034.
“Contact lang sila sa ila teacher or adviser about the requirements,” said Escullar.
