The ministry announced implementation measures supporting Presidential Regulation No. 3 of 2026 on preventing and handling children who are out of school.
What Changed?
Education authorities are to coordinate across ministries and levels of government to identify children outside education and connect them with education services suited to their circumstances.
Old System vs New System
Programs addressing school non-participation existed, but the 2026 presidential regulation and June ministry action add a coordinated national implementation route.
The ministry is implementing a cross-government process intended to return or connect identified children to appropriate education services.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Children outside school gain a formal national route for identification, referral and re-entry support.
Parent / Family Impact
Families may be contacted or assisted by local authorities to identify a suitable education pathway for an out-of-school child.
School / Institution Impact
Schools and local education authorities may need to receive referred learners and coordinate re-entry or alternative provision.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers may support re-entering learners at school level, but the June action primarily changes inter-agency processes.
