Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced a one-week extension to the registration period for students enrolling in public schools for the 2025-2026 academic year.
This decision aims to provide parents with additional time to complete the necessary enrolment procedures for their children.
The registration service applies to all educational stages, from kindergarten to 12th grade, across government schools nationwide. It covers several categories of students:
- New admissions: First-time students entering kindergarten or first grade
- Transfer students: Those transferring from private schools within the UAE or international schools abroad.
- Advanced Track enrolment: Open to students in 5 to 8 grades (the second cycle) eligible for the advanced track, previously known as the “elite” track. This category is specifically for Emirati students and children of Emirati women holding Emirati citizenship.
