Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

We all just need to understand that this is an unnatural and unsustainable state of affairs and needs to be fixed at the root of the problem (uncontrolled alumni priority admissions). Unfortunately too many parents have become used to it.

I believe the number of parents against it >> the number of parents who are used to it.

btw, we see a lot of letters to the ST or other forum like CNA etc who are against alumni priority.. seems like very few letters that are for it..?

But some cap on alumni phase is clearly in order.

Simple suggestion:

After P1, remaining places divided P2A 33.3%, P2B 33.3%, P2C 33.3%.

Unutilised P2A places (if any) divided equally between P2B and P2C like it is now.

A child of an alumni who is also a PV/clan or church member/community leader can have 3 bites of the cherry.


But I still say it's tuition that makes the difference.

Personal Reasons like "I want my kids to wear the same school uniform as me" just have ZERO value in debates that are related to shaping national policies that affect the masses.


Someone like their kids to enter the same university as them. So their kids should be entitled to priority? Don’t forget, these graduates played a part in putting the universities on the world map too.

But universities have exam results and admissions tests for selection. Have P1 admission exams? :yikes:

Then give it a decade or two and we will need K1 admission exams.

Then properties around popular schools will be hotter becos I don't think many stayed near their alma mater heehee. To have a better chance in case there's balloting, some might decide to shift closer to school. Another group of parents competing for the housing near the popular schools :evil:

Once tweaks are done with this phase, the next \"giant\" to be slayed will be affiliation to sec sch (from pri sch). To me, there're similarities in justification between affliation and alumni priority.
