Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

Hey, there.

I am a high school student from China applying for Github Education. After submitting ralated information via webvite, I eventurally received a notification stating: “Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your academic affiliation based on the information you submitted on Mar 17, 2026.”

My Issue:

My school (The No.1 Middle School of Lu'an, Anhui) is not in the dropdown list, But I followed the system prompts to manually provide the required institutional information.
My school is acturally a public high school, and its website is https://www.layz.net
My school does not issue standardized student identification cards or the specific documentation typically referenced for academic verification. In lieu of these, I submitted an official admission letter that clearly displays my full legal name, the complete name of the institution, my official enrollment date, and the school's official administrative seal. I believed this document would sufficiently substantiate my current academic status, but it was rejected.

According to my situation, could someone please guide me on how to verify my status manually?
I have the following documents ready (in Chinese):
Official Admission Letter (with Name, School, Date, and Official Seal etc.).
Certificate of Enrollment(photocopy)

Note: the aforementioned documents are issued in Chinese, as it is the official language of my institution. If language barriers impede the verification process, I am fully prepared to provide accurate English translations of these materials

Thanks for your time, attention, and continued support for students globally
