All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[cherrygal]

limlim:

As far as P1 registration is concerned, I guess the MOE priority is transparency rather than efficiency.

With all due respect to technology, I still agree with Limlim that Singaporean parents want to see that 2 ballot slips had actually gone into the bowl. Computers can easily be \"controlled\" whereas manual balloting cannot kelong. If u don't get picked, it's just your luck for being at the bottom of the fish bowl. You can still ask the person to stir the bowl. Many parents requested the admin manager to do that at the school we balloted at. Feel free to speak up.

Manual balloting for me. (PS. with manual balloting, my ds got picked twice at the ballot)

My sister’s daughter was the second name to be called at the balloting at Bukit View Primary today. What a relief! But balloting is a terrible, terrible experience - the look of disappointment in the parents, grandparents and little children who were unsuccessful - feel so sad for them. Can imagine the despondency they must feel now.


My turn in 2012 - must steel myself for it!

I feels that it's better not to let your Dd or Ds go for the balloting as what I read somewhere , that her Dd cried when she's being balloted out.

like all things s’pore, i believe problem will be solved if we are allowed to buy/sell our P1 places.

Hi,


If P1 places need to buy, it will not solve the problem. It will become rich people places, rich children to compare what they have,

Not necessary. he/she says Can Buy/Sell, not get it via buying.

Those balloted in can chose not to sell mah..

Hi Parents,


Any parent who had registered their kid to P1 in ACS junior next year and wanted to change to SJI.

Kindly PM and to see whether we can work something out with MOE to do a exchange of school.


My Son had allocated a place in SJI through balloting.
