Island Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés expressed his gratitude to the parents and guardians who actively participated in the Academic Progress Report collection initiatives and in the online registration process for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.

During the report card distribution for the first 30 weeks of the 2024-2025 school year, attendance at schools was 80%. On this occasion, parents had the opportunity to discuss their children’s academic development with teachers and address relevant topics related to their progress and academic well-being.

“These types of meetings strengthen communication between schools and families, a key factor for the educational success of our students,” Ramos Parés emphasized. “We appreciate the commitment of the families who attended to learn about their children’s academic performance and collaborate with the school teams.”

The secretary also celebrated the success of online registration, which he said reached a remarkable 97% completion rate, with 218,178 students already enrolled for the next school year. The achievement will allow the Education Department to continue with more effective planning, allocating resources, teachers and equipment in a timely and appropriate manner, he said.

“We appreciate the diligence of families in completing the online registration process,” Ramos said. “This joint effort is essential for us to provide our students with the environment and resources necessary for their development.”
