The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports, led by Poli Suárez, will open the student admission procedure for the 2026/27 academic year in April for Early Childhood and Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education, Baccalaureate, and Adult Education in the more than 850 publicly funded schools in the archipelago.
This procedure, convened by the General Directorate of Administration of Centers, Schooling and Complementary Services, coordinated by David Crego, allows planning the next school year in advance and offering families a clear framework for requesting a place, with a defined calendar and differentiated phases for application, scoring, publication of lists, and enrollment. The list of courses and educational centers, access requirements, the admission and enrollment process calendar, and any other relevant information can now be consulted on the website of the Department of Education.
Interested persons may submit the application and the required documentation in each case electronically, through the same page, or in person at the chosen center as the first option, where they can obtain the form to complete.
In the current 2025/26 academic year, the Canary public education system serves more than 240,000 students in non-university education. Of these, around 107,000 are studying Early Childhood and Primary Education, more than 61,000 Compulsory Secondary Education, nearly 25,000 Baccalaureate and Adult Education, and more than 47,000 Vocational Training.
