Don't forget that some don't have that option though. Eg. teachers who teach in the school & those with siblings who have already graduated... all fall under 2A2 but they don't qualify to be \"Alumni\".

actually the teachers' children should be moved to phase 1...teachers are deployed to the school by MOE. they do not apply to teach in the particular school, as such they should enjoy priority. happy teachers will teach the students well.
if the teachers choose to register their kids in other schools, so be it...but if they are teaching in the school and logistics wise, it makes sense for them to register their kids in the same school.

Not all Teachers want to enrol their children in the same school as the one they are teaching in, unless that primary school is very good or very hard to get in.

A few of my friends, who are primary school Tr, prefer to enrol their kid in some other primary school instead. Reason being, a few :-

- that primary school they are teaching in, is not popular. Every year, a lot of vacancies left behind in Phase 3.

- friends do not like their child being constantly scrutinized at or compared to, in terms of their fellow peer school mates / classmates expecting their child to be amongst Top in the class, just because their mother is a school Teacher, in their school. They rather enrol their child somewhere else

Yep, I agree too. However, I think any proposed changes will spark another national debate about fairness.


Not that there’s a specific right or wrong but everyone is only looking at the areas which favor their own personal situation, eg. alumni, teacher, volunteer, financial ability to move to expensive housing areas, etc.

I didn't think of this...but the principal would probably not allocate the parent to teach the same class as the kid.

Nanyang really lucky!

Nanyang : left behind 10 seats, for 2A2

Ai Tong : still leave behind 16 seats, for 2A2

NANYANG left 8 seats for 2A2 not 10.

I think most schools do this and the teachers shouldn't even take the same level - since they may have to set some papers and also do some of the marking.

Henry Park overflow during 2A1, any reason it is so hot this year?

Even though Principal did not allocate the mother to teach the same class as her child : however people will still sometimes gossip about their child in school, and gossip is what my friends want to avoid

[zac's mum]

I had one schoolmate whose mother was the discipline mistress. Most of us avoided being too friendly with her (scared she tell tales to her mother). The child herself was a regular girl with average results and behavior. Not top of the class nor prefect material. Even if she happened to be chosen as prefect, I’m sure somebody would be sour grapes and say nasty things. I think it’s a hard burden for a child to bear.

the mother teaching in the school may not teach her own child, or school bar her from setting school exam paper for her child's level, but may still be able to access school exam papers SA1 / SA2 for her child's level, kept inside the school cupboard staffroom : unless the subject HODs in her school make absolutely sure that she literally no access to exam papers, for her child's level

Just to check Phase 2A1 + 2A2 is not combined correct?

E.g. After 2A1 = 40 vacancies left, @ 2A2 80 subscribe for the 40 vacancies. This means only 2A2 requires balloting and those in 2A1 not affected correct?

Yes. The next phase will not affect the previous phase
