Not sure which school you are referring to, but if it is TKPS, the increase is mainly because it has lost a class of 30 vacancies.

Tao Nan and Ngee Ann has actually lower Phase 1 intake this year compared to historical trends.

I was refering to TNS


I thought last year data has a smaller Phase 1 from one of TanKee’s posts. no?

P1 balance for phase 2A
Tao Nan …360 … 147 … 213

TUR for Tao Nan after phase 1 is 44%, slightly higher than last year’s 41%. In numbers, that’s about 10 or 11 more students registered than last year.


However, the 44% is still lower than 2007’s 48% and 2008’s 52%.

There’s definitely a lot more children this year for TNS!

[tankee]

it is across the board increase for all 3 schools, probably due to the many new condos and private apartments in the neighbourhood.
