Enhanced Basic Education Information System (EBEIS)

As soon as a new school becomes operational, you can create its profile and register it in the EBEIS.

Need to Know

• Only the Regional Office (RO) can enlist and encode new school profiles.
• The school and the Schools Division Office (SDO) can edit the existing or newly created school profile once the region finishes creating the profile.
• If the school received a School ID from the previous school year but failed to create their school profile, they must request a new School ID from their respective RO.
  • The school must possess either a recognition or a permit to operate for the current school year to receive a new School ID.
  • The RO processes the request; once done, the school shall use the new School ID and disregard the old one.

You can add the following school types in the EBEIS:

• Public integrated schools (offering both elementary and secondary levels including Senior High School);
• Elementary schools (public, private, and SUC/LUC, offering Kinder to Grade 6);
• and Secondary schools (public, private, and SUC/LUC, offering Junior High School, Senior High School, or both).

Must Know

• Schools SHOULD NOT contact the Central Office (CO) directly to add or edit their profiles in the EBEIS.
• SDOs MUST NOT refer any school directly to the CO to request modifications in EBEIS profiles.
