Using Relative's Address & Statutory Declaration

[kancheongmama]

Hi all


Would like to know if there's any way MOE would allow statutory declaration if only one parent working. I know they state black and white both parents but what if the father is studying full time at a local uni taking his degree? I called MOE and the person kept quoting the same lines from the website.
:?
Thanks!

hi kancheongmama


:welcome: to KSP

There are other conditions for statutory declaration beside both parents working. Are you able to meet the other conditions?

...but what if the father is studying full time at a local uni taking his degree?

Actually, if you put yourself at MOE's shoes, they would think that since the father is taking full time study, and not working, he should be able to look after the child, right? :idea:

In the event that the father needs to go to campus for his lessons or research, etc. he can then get alternative help to care for the child.

Not trying to defend MOE but there are simply too many possibilities to consider if they relax the rules.

Hi all


:lovesite:

I was wondering if let's say I get to use my parent's address in Phase 2C (1-2km) and then there's a balloting within 1 km, would the school inform us early on before the phase ends so that we can quickly register to another school?

Coz I called one school and they told me that if they forsee by the second day there's balloting, they will inform me to withdraw so that I can apply to another school. Does it work like that generally? :?

most schools will update the number of people registered regularly on some noticeboard(s) at the registeration office.


instead of depending on the school to call you; or you to call the school and depend on the kindness of the office staff who answered your call to go to the registration office to check the status … BEST is that you pop down after lunch on the last day to check the status and decide whether to continue or to withdraw & register at the other school.

in the past, some parents practised stationing a spouse at each school to monitor the situation, then at the very last hour (or should I say minutes), decide whether to switch or to stay.

:thankyou:


Thanks for moving the topic to this site; was just figuring out how to move it when I saw it was already moved. Very efficient.

Thanks, will do that, though I dont think my spouse would want to be stationed :politebleah:

What a fabulous idea, never thought of that! Now to convince my hubby...

on second thought, this method may not work as don't we need both parents NRIC for registrations? :?

you don't need both parents' IC to do withdrawal. so parents can register in their preferred school first, then on the last day last min, station one parent each at the registered school and the 2nd choice school to do withdrawal and registration.
