A total of 1,548 places are up for grabs in Church schools, the Curia said yesterday.
Applications will be received in various schools between this month and February for admission in kindergarten, primary and secondary schools.
Applications for first and second year kindergarten are open to children born in 2011 and 2012, and for primary school children born in 2010. Applications are also open for first year in secondary school for children born in 2004.
The regulations governing admission to Church schools have been published on the website www.thechurchinmalta.org.
The Church said some places from the 1,548 will be allocated for “serious” cases covered by specific regulations and requirements.
Breach of regulations may lead to expulsion of pupils from school.
