The Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth has announced the launch of its electronic Education Administration and Training (eDEA) project, as part of its policy to transition towards a more modern digital school system and upgrade services for better process management in public schools.
In a statement, the ministry said eDEA is one of the largest e-governance projects in the education sector, implemented under the “THALIA 2021-2027” Cohesion Policy Programme, co-funded by the EU in collaboration with the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy.
Following the successful pilot implementation of electronic registrations in three high schools in June 2024, the project is now being extended to all public primary schools in Cyprus. For the first time, all new enrolments and transfers for first-grade primary school pupils will be conducted exclusively through the eDEA web portal.
Parents and guardians must create a CY Login account by January 6, 2025 to enable first-grade primary school enrolment. They must then access the eDEA web portal at https://edea.schools.ac.cy to create their profile in the electronic registration system.
Enrolments will be conducted electronically from January 7-19, 2025 through the eDEA portal, while transfers will be processed from January 23-26, 2025.
The portal will later handle enrolments and transfers for first-grade gymnasium and lyceum students for the 2025-2026 school year. Parents with children entering first grade at gymnasium or lyceum level are also encouraged to create CY Login accounts.
According to the education ministry, this initiative represents another significant step towards modernising education, ensuring transparency, simplifying procedures and improving service delivery for parents and students.
