MOE doesn’t verify such claims in these instances. However, as firstda says, the 1km become 1-2km during registration, which will put the most popular schools out of reach.
Recently I overheard some mothers discussing using the relatives’ addresses to register for popular schools. These relatives can be parents’ siblings or cousins, and kids are not cared for at that address at all. But these parents seem to think it is SAFE to just use the address and won’t be caught.
If parent cites a relative as “caregiver”, then they don’t need to change address on parent’s NRIC. How can MOE effectively verify such claims?
I just think it is so ridiculous and unfair. -
Do you mean if a parent uses “caregiver”’s address, even if it is within 1km, at registration, it will be grouped with the 1-2km category? Is it for all phases?
Sorry I am confused. Pls enlightened. Thanks. -

yes, I remember I saw it last time stated the caretaker must not be working. Good that they have taken it out, then most likely I will do the declaration to use caretaker address.
Interest. Apparently, MOE did some tweaking to the statutory declaration. Gone are the explicit requirement of the caregiver not working (was previously stated as such): https://beta.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/home-address/jedamum\" post_id=\"1917681\" time=\"1562256401\" user_id=\"159:
Tammyyhc,
Is it a requirement for care giver to be not working?
I didn't read the details, but what stands out from my browsing is
. If the caregiver’s address is successfully used for priority admission, you will have to continue with the same childcare arrangement at the same address for at least 30 months from the start of P1 registration on 3 July 2019.
If not, your child may be transferred to another school with vacancies.
. Your sch distance using caregiver address for cases involving balloting will be under 1-2 km even if that addresses is 500m from the school.
. The address used for P1 registration must be on the parents’ Nric unless u register under the caregiver clause.
If your address (assuming you not hiring maid and chooses to use the Nric address which is your in law place n not going for caregiver registration route) is successfully used for priority admission, your family must live there for at least 30 months from the start of P1 registration on 3 July 2019. If not, your child may be transferred to another school with vacancies.
In short, if you are not staying in that address you should not be using it as your address for registration.

Then if the caregiver is not working. It works for alot of mothers as mentioned above. Using parent’s relatives’ address. But then it will still fall under 1-2km, ha!

Hi.
If I rent a place <1km from the school to increase my chances but eventually manage to get my child in without the home-distance factor coming into play, do I still need to stay at the rented place for at least 30 mths from the start of P1 registration? -
Hi, can I register caregiver address first and decide to use my own address later on to register?

Once address used to register, need to stay 30 months. Must be NRIC address. Home distance definitely will be in play.

If odds are good for 1-2km or >2km, best is not to rent. -
