Enrollment in junior high school depends on whether the student registration or household registrationThis issue is a hot issue of concern to parents and students. According to the Ministry of Education's Regulations on Compulsory Education Enrollment and Enrollment (revised in 2022), the enrollment and enrollment of schools in the compulsory education stage should adhere to the principle of "free entrance examination", namely:
With household registration and residential address as the main basis for enrollment, adhere to the principle of giving priority to household registration and paying equal attention to permanent residence, and implement the policy of "admission to the nearest school without examination, and standardized enrollment by zoning". "Local and nearby enrollment" refers to enrolling in a local school in the jurisdiction according to the household registration address. "Relative proximity enrollment" refers to the principle of "local proximity", if there are not enough places, the overall arrangement of enrollment in other schools with degrees is made. Materials shall be provided for the enrollment of the first grade, the seventh grade and other starting grades and the registration of transfer students of other grades, which shall be determined by each school in accordance with the school charter and the corresponding management system, and announced to the public.
Therefore, when entering junior high school, under normal circumstances, students with the same place of residence and household registration shall be enrolled according to the place of household registrationFor students whose place of residence is not the same, the place of residence shall prevail.
There are the following reasons for using household registration as a priority basis for admission:
Household registration is the legal identity certificate of a citizen's residence and life within the scope of the country, and is the basic certificate for citizens to enjoy the basic public services of the state.
Compulsory education is a basic public service of the state, which has the characteristics of inclusiveness, public welfare, and free of charge. Using household registration as the basis for school enrollment is conducive to ensuring the right of school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education on an equal footing.
Residency is considered for admission for the following reasons:
The place of residence is the actual place where school-age children and adolescents live, and it is more direct to their needs for education.
Taking the place of residence as a factor in school enrollment is conducive to making it easier for school-age children and teenagers to go to school nearby and reducing the inconvenience of transportation.
In some special cases, student status may also be used as a basis for admission. For example, students who do not have a place in their place of residence or place of residence can enroll in the school according to their place of residence.
Specific policies for junior high school enrollment may vary from region to region. Parents should refer to the latest policy of the local education department.
