As the academic year 2024/2025 draws to a close in Egypt, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education has activated the official electronic application system for students transitioning from preparatory school to the first year of general secondary education for the 2025/2026 school year. This digital initiative aims to streamline the enrollment process, making it more accessible, transparent, and efficient for students and their families across all governorates.
With the recent announcement of the preparatory certificate results nationwide, thousands of students and their parents are turning their attention to the crucial next step: selecting and securing a place in secondary schools. The Ministry has launched a unified online platform, accessible via https://tansiksec.emis.gov.eg, which serves as the official gateway for submitting applications and registering school preferences.
The process begins with activating the student's unified email account through the Ministry's dedicated portal at https://office.emis.gov.eg. Students must enter their national ID number and student code, then complete the required information to activate their account. A verification code is sent to an alternative email address for security purposes. Should a student forget their password, the system offers a straightforward “Forgot Password” feature to regain access.
Once the account is activated, students can log in to the coordination website using their unified email credentials. The platform then guides them through selecting the type of education, educational directorate, administration, and preferred schools. Importantly, students are encouraged to register three school preferences, ranked by priority, in accordance with the minimum acceptance scores announced for their respective governorates.
To ensure a smooth application experience, the Ministry has issued clear instructions to educational directorates and school administrations. These include coordinating with parents to facilitate the process, disseminating detailed registration steps and deadlines on official social media channels, and empowering information unit officials within schools to accurately register and review student applications based on verified student records.
In a notable move towards modernization, the Ministry has also enabled electronic payment of school fees through authorized payment outlets, allowing parents to complete this step conveniently once their child's application is accepted.
The required documents for the first-year general secondary application are comprehensive, reflecting the Ministry's commitment to thorough verification and student welfare. Applicants must provide the original preparatory certificate success statement along with two copies, five recent personal photos labeled with the student's name, three copies of the guardian's ID card, the original computer-printed birth certificate plus three copies, a first-year secondary application file obtained from local libraries, a stamped health certificate, payment receipts for school fees with three copies, and the printed electronic preference form from the Ministry's website. Additionally, two project support and funding stamps valued at 10 Egyptian pounds each and two educational profession stamps are mandatory.
This meticulous documentation process underscores the Ministry's dedication to maintaining high standards and preventing fraudulent applications.
The electronic application system is more than just a digital form; it represents a significant stride in Egypt’s educational transformation. By embracing technology, the Ministry reduces administrative burdens, minimizes errors, and fosters transparency. It also empowers parents and students by providing real-time access to application status and school placement information.
However, the Ministry acknowledges that the coordination for general secondary school placements has not yet been finalized in some governorates. As such, the application link activation is being phased in, with full functionality expected in the coming days. This staggered approach is designed to ensure fairness and accuracy in school placements across the country.
Parents and students are strongly advised to adhere to official channels and timelines to avoid complications. The Ministry’s communication strategy includes regular updates via social media and direct outreach through schools, aiming to keep all stakeholders informed throughout the application period.
In essence, this digital rollout reflects a broader vision of educational reform in Egypt, blending tradition with innovation to better serve its youthful population. By simplifying the transition from preparatory to secondary education, the Ministry hopes to foster a more equitable and efficient system, one that honors student achievements and matches them with suitable educational opportunities.
For many families, this marks a pivotal moment—deciding the next chapter in their child's academic journey. Thanks to the Ministry's efforts, the process is now more accessible and transparent than ever before, offering hope and clarity amid what can often be a stressful period.
As the application window opens and students across Egypt take their first steps into secondary education, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education remains committed to supporting them every step of the way, ensuring that digital innovation enhances educational access and quality nationwide.
