SKILL 11 · Everyday life
Prepare a child's school-enrolment pathway
Help a family identify the appropriate school admission, provisional identification and prior-study questions for a child, without promising a place or conflating education access with immigration status.
What you need
- Child's age, identity-document availability and current location
- Responsible adult's identity and relationship or care evidence
- RUN, IPE or IPA availability, if any, without credentials
- Previous school year, grades and available study records
- Commune, desired school level and current school or admission communications
What you can prepare
- Child-and-responsible-adult evidence inventory kept separate
- School-admission and identification checklist labelled DRAFT NOT SUBMITTED
- Editable enquiry about a place, placement level or missing prior-study documents
FICTIONAL PRACTICE CASE
Try it before using real records.
Fictional case: Laila arrives in Chile with her school-age son and neither has a Chilean RUN. The skill checks the current IPE and IPA routes, records his previous school documents and prepares admission questions without claiming that an identifier secures a vacancy.
Check the result
- The child's records and the responsible adult's records are distinguished
- IPE, IPA and RUN are explained as different identifiers and their current applicability is checked
- School admission, available vacancy, provisional placement and study validation are separate questions
- The handover uses the current academic-year instructions and contains no unverified calendar deadline
Keep preparation and filing separate.
Documents produced are DRAFT — NOT SUBMITTED until reviewed and actually filed. The skill does not access accounts, submit applications, pay fees or represent you. Current official requirements and the actual notice must be checked for your case. English materials are not certified translations.

Current IPE and IPA purpose, applicant routing and limits; not proof of residence or a guaranteed school place.
- Ayuda Mineduc: Vacancy regularisation through Anótate en la Lista
Current vacancy-request routing; verify the academic year and relevant admission stage before giving instructions.

Official explanation of provisional enrolment and the school's role; check for later updates before relying on this edition.
- Ayuda Mineduc: Enrolamiento and identity routing
Use the current official identity-enrolment route when required IPE documents are missing, or refer an adult without RUN to the separate adult-education pathway rather than treating the child's skill as an adult IPE procedure.
