no. total vacancies is still more than total applicants. Just that 3 schools are more popular. -

Can Guangyang even make up 1 class? Why don't they just close the school and pass the resources to the other 3 so they can have more seats? -

In a way yes since the only school with vacancy has already moved to Ang Mo Kio. I am sure they are still mire Bishan parents not yet register. I am one of them. Really hope MOE will look into this for next year. -

Maybe there need to be at least one full government school in each estate? The other 3 schools are government-aided school. Plus 2 of them are SAP schools and 2 are affiliated to churches. They need to provide an option for those outside these groups.
