2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

You are welcome. Under Phase 3, your child is considered a foreigner and it is important for him to be registered successfully in a primary school that still has vacancies at Phase 3. When your child's results improve and is considered very good, you can consider apply for transfer/waitlist in other primary schools or choose to stay on in the school. I know of a girl from Xinghua Primary School who was from China and managed to score very high marks in her PSLE. She missed by a few marks to enter Nanyang Girls' High and eventually settle down in Dunman High. If your child is willing to work hard, anything is possible. I guess your child is in kindergarten now and you have to build up the child's foundation, especially in Phonics & Reading to strengthen the child's English. Foreigners' children tend to excel in Math, Sci and Chinese.

My child is extremely interested in English but he's not in Singapore yet. I am confusing whether I send him to study at kindergarten right next academic year or not. I dont know if he has any opportunity to be accepted by a kindergarten this time. If has, I guess I'll let him start as soon as possible.

Could you give me some advice?

You can go to register at a kindergarten now and allow him to commence K2 next year. In addition, supplement with home tutoring to let him catch up.

You are a SC, but, what about your child?

How far you stay from the school and whether your child is a SC or not do not determine which phase he will be in. If you are not an alumni, PV or grassroot leader, your child will fall under P2C.

Hi there,


I heard that there are 700+ children who do not have seats in 2014 in-take. I have not figured out that what is the Goverment's decision for that and I am really worry for my Phase 3 son for the next year 2015.

Please anybody tell me how is the problem solved?
Thank you very much!

As far the Government is concerned, this isn't a situation that needs a solution (for it's not even a problem at all!). We would have to bear in mind that the Government's responsibility lies with it's citizen, i.e. the men/women who have the authority to really make them jobless - it's a democracy: if you can't vote, you have no authority.

My solution would be to watch the enrollment figures like a hawk - go for the least popular schools with the biggest number of available vacancies. That should, hopefully, maximise your chance of getting into a local school. The other solution is have a backup plan ready - possibly an international school (if you can afford it) or back to your hometown/country (if no other choice). At least, you won't be caught surprised should things didn't go your way.

Thank you for your replies in two threads. I think it's fair of course.
