Starting this Friday, December 19, parents in the Metropolitan Region can apply for out-of-term vacancies for the 2026 school year via the Anótate en la lista system. The process opens at 9:00 a.m. on the Ministry of Education's website, allowing applications to at least six schools with available spots.
The Ministry of Education (Mineduc) has opened the Anótate en la lista 2026 system for parents to request vacancies in Metropolitan Region schools outside the regular Admisión Escolar period. This process starts on Friday, December 19, at 9:00 a.m., differing from schedules in other areas: Monday the 15th for the north and Wednesday the 17th for the center and south of the country.
To apply, parents must log into sistemadeadmisionescolar.cl with a registered account, fill in the student's details, and select at least six educational establishments. After submitting, a downloadable receipt is generated. The vacantes.mineduc.cl platform also allows real-time checks of schools with available spots.
This initiative supports the 2026 school calendar, with classes resuming nationwide on Wednesday, March 4, and teachers starting on Monday, March 2. In the Metropolitan Region, winter vacation runs from Monday, July 13, to Friday, July 24, and the school year ends on Friday, December 4, for full-day schools.
The Mineduc highlights the tool's role in ensuring equitable access to education, particularly for families who missed the main application window.
