Hi,


A good friend just brought this to my attention. Wondering if that would be a problem

we are currently living in Tampines with our parents, we have recently (1 month ago) gotten keys to our new home in Punggol.

We are however not planning to move until 1-2 years later. Does it mean that this year, when my daughter is due to register for Primary school, I can and should be applying for Tampines right?

please advise as I really dont know what i should do or whom i should ask to clarify this matter

If you are still living in Tampines and that's reflected in your NRIC, that's the address you will register under. To confirm, call MOE.

Thank you sir, that's what i thought too. But i got abit jittery when my friend told me that upon collection of keys, Gov will push you to change ur IC to the new home address, and it happened to her and her brother.

I thought this sounded quite bull, as it is ridiculous to change the IC address to somewhere else when you are still living at the old address.

Hi all,

i would like to ask if my house it’s only one block away within 1km. Can i appeal to register in 2C instead of 2CS?
Thanks!

I think you have misunderstood the phases and their criteria.

Please read through the information in http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases/.

I have an existing property which I rented out currently. Can I still use this address to apply as its within 1km of the school Or do I need to move back to qualify?

legally you are not allowed to use this address even though it belongs to you.

"In a small number of cases, there may be situations where the families are unable to remain at the address used for registration for the entire duration of the child’s primary school studies. Even so, a child who gains priority admission into a school through his/her distance category is required to reside at the address used for registration for at least 30 months from the commencement of the P1 registration exercise on 2 July 2015. If this condition is not met, MOE reserves the right to transfer the child to another school with vacancies, as the priority admission to the first school was based on the declared address used for registration."


This is the latest news…

it's about time MOE inserts this clause.

[phtthp]

Let’s see from this year (2015) onwards, who dare to violate this new MOE clause 30 months, end up get jailed ?


Let’s watch if potential cheating parents, scared by this 30 months ?

This also mean that -
If parents intend to rent houses less than 1 km from popular, hot schools, make sure have sufficient financial resources, to last rental for at least 30 months, particularly if is in those neighborhood where rental charges cost around $ 5000, per month for the rental unit

How much does this rental amount, work out to be ?
Amount need to set aside =
$ 5000 x 30 months =
$ 150,000 sgd

Let’s watch after impose 30 months : see if any loop hole can still arise, & how they arise ?

Do you think it's sad that with this new rule...
The offsprings of the rich and powerful will be at an advantage.
They will have a higher chance to get balloted in to elite schools as not many ordinary folks can now fork out 30 month rentals (of $150,000) under this new rule leh.

Advantage to the 有钱人， Not for the 普通人/穷人
