Action task

Arrange school enrolment

Check the options before starting

Steps

  1. Contact the provincial or city education authority or the school for your intended address. Ask about vacancies, age/grade placement and the relevant calendar.
  2. For initial, primary and secondary education, article 143 protects migrants’ access and continued attendance without Argentine DNI, using country-of-origin documents.
  3. Ask which previous-school records, identity documents and any translation/equivalence follow-up are needed. Ask about language support and how pending records will be handled.
  4. Keep the application/reference number, school contact and follow-up date. CABA’s enrolment portal is a local example; use your own jurisdiction’s process.
  5. For higher education, consult the institution’s separate admission and fee rules instead of applying this school-access summary.

How to know you are done

The right local contact, placement enquiry and document/follow-up plan are recorded; a particular school place is not guaranteed.
