This blog is for all the anxious young parents who are first-timers in registering their children for Standard One in Malaysia. Many are confused about the procedure to register a child for Standard 1 or Year 1 (Darjah 1). Some parents may have problem with
Bahasa and
need a little encouragement to boost their confiden
ce to
do it online.
I would like to share my experiences on how the application process for School Registration for Standard 1 works in Selangor which has one of the best website in the country. The procedure may vary for other states in Malaysia but the basic steps should be the same.
Federal Territory also has a dedicated website for registration for Standard 1 as well as for pre-school. I couldn't find any other sites from the rest of the Departments of Education. If you have additional information, please share with us by leaving your comments.
Please take note that the links to these websites for online registration are only accessible during the registration periods. They are NOT available for public viewing once the registration process is over. For more information please go to the bottom of this page.
1st March: School Registration Commences
School registration for Standard 1 in Malaysia (
Pendaftaran Murid Darjah 1 di Malaysia) usually commences on
1st March of each year and lasts til the
end of April for Selangor.
This registration period may vary for other states. It's very important you
check this out with the relevant State Department of Education (Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri) or the school authourities. Certain states have only a
one month registration period!
Standard 1 Pupils: 6-7 Years Old
A new student entering Standard 1 (Darjah 1) is normally
6-7 years old and a parent or guardian can register the child as early as
TWO years before the child starts schooling.
For example, a child starting Standard 1 for the academic year
2015 must be born between
2nd January 2008 to 1st January 2009.
So, if the child is
5 years old in 2013, then the parent/guardian can register the child for the
2015 academic year from
1st March 2013 to 30th April 2013.
=================================

============================================
There are three parts to this second step of the online registration process.
The first part "1.0 Tatacara permohonan Murid Tahun 1 secara Online" has 10 items and the following are the most important:
- Registration period: from 1 March to 30 April 2013
- Any registration after 30 April 2013 will be dealt with accordingly as late application. The outcome may be unpleasant and parents are urged to complete the registration process well before the 30 April deadline!
- Please read and follow exactly all the steps and guidelines given.
- Enter all information correctly. Mistakes can be very troublesome to correct. Always check and re-check the information. It would be better to get your spouse or another person to check all the information again before your press the "HANTAR" or "TAMAT" button.
- The system uses your child's MyKid/Borang W number as your User ID to access the website to correct or update your child's profile/application and to check the status of your application.
The second part
"2.0 Maklumat Anak" has two examples to help you fill in your
child's full name and
MyKid/Borang W number correctly.
The third part
"3.0 Alamat" has two examples to guide you fill in your

===============================================
Print the completed Registration Online forms and bring this and other documents for the next step below.
=================================================
2. Verification of Registration
You have to go to the school that you have chosen in the online registration i.e. the school you want your child to start Year One.
Do this second step as soon as possible. Don't wait til the last minute. You have only
14 days from the date you registered online to complete this step.
Your child's registration process is only considered complete once the school authorities have verified the necessary documents and give your application a registration number.
During the school visit, you will have to bring along various documents for verification at the school’s administration office.
**********************************
You have to bring the
original documents together with photocopies of them
.
- Printed online registration form
- Utility bill (electricity or water) of the address used
- Birth certificate of your child
- MyKid card
- You and your spouse's Identity Cards
- Marriage Certificate
- Return envelope 4"x 9" (self-address with pupil's name and affixed with stamps).
The above mentioned items are some of the
usual stuff parents have to bring along for the verification process. Sometimes, you may have to fill in another application form at the school. Some schools may want additional information or items not mentioned in the online registration. Don't just listen to the clerical staff (they do not know the registration process). Always talk to the senior teachers or someone in charge of the registration process. Many parents complained about schools
asking for personal information such as income tax, employers, place of work and so on.
Different schools have different requirements.
Therefore, it's prudent to check with the
school authorities before you make this trip.
Always check with the official websites
and schools for the latest information.
