How to Register Your Child for Standard 1 2025/2026 Intake: A Step-By-Step Guide

Zakwan Shah

It’s that time of year again where parents can start registering their kids for Standard 1.

This registration is mandatory for all kids going from preschool into the public education system.

For the 2025/2026 academic session, only children born between 2 January 2018 and 1 January 2019 are eligible.

The online portals officially open between 2 May 2024 to 30 June 2024. So save the dates and prepare all the documents you need in the meantime.

Here’s how you can register your child for Standard 1 for the 2025/2026 academic year.

For new applicants registering for the first time, the system has changed from SPS (Sistem Pengurusan Sekolah) to MOEIS (Modul Sistem Bersepadu KPM) since 2023.

Any information previously filled in the previous system has automatically been transferred to the new online portal.

The registration involves a twofold access: Sistem Pengurusan iDentiti (idMe) and MOEIS. First time users will only need to create an idMe account which will redirect to their MOEIS account.
