As a result of the measures taken to contain Covid-19, the dates of the pre-enrolment process to local schools were postponed and now are from 13th to 22nd de May. This alteration of the calendar has caused uncertainty among parents, in a process that is already a bit stressful, especially for international families who need to understand the procedure or might have a language barrier.

To try to facilitate this process, we have organized this practical session to explain how to pre-enrol your child for the coming school year 2020-21.

Cristina Iglesias, Schooling Advisor at the Barcelona Education Consortium, will provide useful information, step by step, about how to fill in and submit your pre-enrolment application, the priority criteria to assign a school and will also resolve doubts.
