Jalisco Streamlines School Enrollment with Online Pre-Registration for 2026-2027
Parents in Zapotlán el Grande, Jalisco, and across the region are preparing for the pre-registration period for the 2026-2027 school year, running from February 3rd to 27th. This year, the process is entirely online for preschool, primary, and secondary school applicants, a significant shift towards digital accessibility.
Digital Transformation of Education in Jalisco
The move to a fully online system, as highlighted by José Martín Hernández Álvarez, the regional delegate of the Secretariat of Education Jalisco, represents a continuing trend in modernizing educational administration. Previously a mixed process, the complete digitalization aims to simplify enrollment for families and reduce administrative burdens on schools.
How to Pre-Register Online
Parents or guardians must access the educativa.jalisco.gob.mx platform. Those without an existing account will need to register first. Within the platform, navigate to the “Padres de familia” (Parents) section, then select “Mis hijos” (My Children) to register the student and complete the required form. It’s crucial to download and save the confirmation receipt, which includes the application folio number.
Age Requirements for School Entry
Specific age criteria apply for each school level, as of December 31, 2026:
- Preschool (Primer grado): 3 years old
- Preschool (Segundo grado): 4 years old
- Preschool (Tercer grado): 5 years old
- Primary School (Primer grado): 6 years old
- Secondary School: Under 15 years old
According to Hernández Álvarez, while first grade preschool enrollment depends on individual school capacity, second and third grade preschool have 100% coverage.
Prioritizing School Choices
The online platform allows applicants to select up to five schools in order of preference, increasing the chances of securing a place at a desired institution.

Parents can visit their preferred school or contact the Regional Delegation of the Secretariat of Education, located at Humboldt #18, Centro, Ciudad Guzmán.
