Matricula Digital

Inter-American Development Bank

Matricula Digital is a code that implements the Deferred Acceptance (Gale-Shapley) algorithm, designed to optimize the assignment of students to school seats based on a list of preferences. This tool facilitates the management of educational resources and improves the collection, analysis and visualization of data in the enrollment process. The effectiveness of Digital Enrollment has been demonstrated in various school systems in Latin America, including cities and regions of Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Chile. Its application ensures a more transparent, efficient and fair allocation process, allowing families to express their school preferences and for the algorithm to assign vacancies according to priority criteria defined by educational authorities. This approach has made it possible to incorporate public policy objectives, such as equity and inclusion, in the allocation of school seats.

School seat allocation is a challenging task for educational institutions due to the complexity of matching student preferences with school offerings while ensuring fairness and optimization. Traditional methods often lead to inefficient allocations, dissatisfaction among stakeholders, and a cumbersome administrative process. The absence of a standardized, efficient and transparent matching mechanism has been a significant bottleneck in the optimization of school choice systems, affecting the quality of educational matching and the strategic planning of educational resources.
