Overview:
School admission is the process through which students are enrolled in a school. It typically involves submitting an application form, providing necessary documents such as birth certificate, previous academic records, and proof of residence. Some schools may also conduct interviews or entrance tests to assess the student's eligibility.
ZAPR Edu supports parents and candidates throughout the school admission process, making it easier to find and secure a place in the right school. The admission process ensures that students are placed in the appropriate grade level and helps schools maintain proper records and plan resources effectively. Admissions usually take place before the start of a new academic year, and ZAPR Edu assists in every step—from application to enrollment.
