      Nope that doesn’t make sense. It’s already stated that the child has to stay at the caregiver’s place. So if the child is being taken care of by the caregiver, and the distance is within 1km how can it be magically changed to 1-2km.

      You guys totally don’t get this don’t you. This is a lack of common sense and totally unfair.

      No diff from Moe saying 1+1=3 and expecting us to accept it.
      Child doesn't need to stay at Caregiver's place. It is for the fetching and student care etc., to be cared by more conveniently. After that go back to parents' place.

        My point is the caregivers address falls within 1km it must be treated as such. Not group them/is with the 1-2km people. This rule shows a complete lack of common sense.

          [/quote]Lets agree to disagree then
          because I support this policy

          maybe the govt should remove the entire caregiver address concept then and insist on parents address to remove the \"confusion\"

              How it should be is, if it’s abused then deal out punishment. Instead of making it unfair for everyone right from the start.

              Are you Suggesting to put all Nus male students in jail to prevent them from becoming sexual predators?
              i don't understand your argument here because it is already stated clearly in MOE website about using caregiver's address for P1 registration. I put it here below:

              If the caregiver’s address is within 2km of the school, your child will be balloted together with those of the same citizenship living between 1km to 2km of the school. This is regardless of how close the caregiver’s address is to the school.

              If the caregiver’s address falls outside of 2km from the school, your child will be balloted together with those of the same citizenship living outside of 2km from the school.


              There isn't any category for <1KM, 1-2KM & >2KM, but they rather categorized it as within 2KM or more than 2KM, which i feel it is fair to the residents that really staying near to the school.

                This policy probably arose because of the prevalence of this type of abuse.

                  Hi seniors. Need some clarification on the 30 mths rule for phase 2C. Thanks!


                  1) If say there was balloting conducted for SCs for 1-2km n we directly got in via SCs <1km. Does this mean that we r bounded by the 30 mth rule?

                  2) If there was another scenario whereby all SCs got in regardless of distance and only PRs had to ballot. Does that mean we are NOT bounded by the 30 mths ruling? Or as long as balloting is invoked (i.e demand > supply) regardless of nationality, the 30 mths rule stands?

                  3) what is the reprecussions of breaching the 30 mth rule? MOE withdraw ur kid n throw to some ulu sch? If we changed the original pri sch to another pri sch nearer to the new address then its all good?

                  4) if we got in via SC <1km route but we shifted to a new hm that is 1-2km instead. Do we breach the 30 mths rule?

                    Once you got in with distance priority, you have to obey the 30months. If you shift, you have to shift to same distance or better. Else MOE reserves the right to transfer your child to another school.

                      As long as you benefited over someone else due to your distance category, you have to honor the 30 months.

                      Not ulu school, most likely the least popular school within your same schooling district that still has vacancies even after Phase 3. There’s always at least one such school in every district.

                      Yes. So please 乖乖 stay 30 months like everyone else then move away.

                        any parent caught cheating using P1 registration rule,

                        - MOE (school) will publish the parents' name onto newspapers, social media.
                        Parents shamed can lose job, go jail, etc

                        - the kid leave the coveted school, posted by MOE to another primary school that still have Phase 3 vacancies left
