So Any comment of this current system of p1 registration? Do you think it's fair? Any better ways?

I doubt there's any system that will be totally fair.

i agreed with you. there is no one system that is deemed totally fair to all and that all are happy with.

as long as there are parents who failed to register their children into the school of their choice, there will be unhappiness and complaints.

They don't even have a choice to be under P2A and they are singaporeans who had also studied in local schools. I mean other parents have a choice to be in P2A but dont want and rather do PV then it their choice.

P1 registration may not please everyone...esp those who stay near school and yet can't get a place there...really frustrating :stupid:

No system can possibly please everyone.

Primary school which hubby attended has closed down...even if the school is still around, I don't think I will send my son there. It's too far from where we're staying. I did PV to send my son to his present school.

I mean those parents whose school has close down should be given another school so that they can have a chance to be under P2A. If they don’t want that chance then that’s fine. As for me I actually stay quite far away from my once pri school, but I moved closer to the school to solve the travelling issues. Didn’t want to take the risk of being in P2C or 2B. Very stress!

But how to determine the replacement choice for this group? Distance from home to existing schools in the vicinity?

Agree !!!
I was prev from Swiss Cottage Primary. A pity it has closed down, or I could register son under Phase 2A...don't have to go through the stress of writing in to be a PV.
If our primary schools are still around, parents could just register their kids under 2A automatically. Problems would be greatly reduced with just PRs (if didn't study here) and new citizens.

So weird,


Janet_lee88, I only see your post for this topic... :?

P2A also depends if your home is near the school and you are ok to move near your school....
