Just an ultra-ks suggestion: Each parent station at one sch, soon after withdrawal, the other parent quickly register at 2nd sch. Sounds workable?

will be tough since u need both parents ic and original bc to register i think[/quote]

Nope. That is the standard operating procedure as far as kiasu parents are concerned.

[g2m6]

how to get around the requirement for documents? do they accept photocopy?

You only need the original documents for registration, not for withdrawal.

[g2m6]

So stressed up...will be eligible for phase 2B for Anderson primary..not sure if there is any chance though...looking at this year's trend..more pple are applying to the school..stressssss

Yes, although we were at Phase 2A, it was pretty scary too, especially when we went on the first day...

Do you live within 1 or 1-2 km from the school? Should be able to gauge based on your distance now...!

This whole registration exercise shows that the Govt had let in too much PR and Foreigner in the past. Given the lower birthrate by Singaporean, this should be lower or relatively stable, but no, we are seeing a crunch in almost every school!!


The rule that give Singaporean priority in balloting only kicks in in the last 2 years, so PR and foreigner whose kids are already in the school will not be affected. In fact, they are able to register their kid in Phase 1.

My hubby has just told me the exact thing that you have written last evening. And he asked if this is fair to Singaporeans that there is no differentiation between Singaporeans and PR at phase 1. Oh well, kind of difficult to judge what is fair and unfair.

Wondering…at this rate… will it come a time where by phase 2A2 the school is full?

[LOLMum]

i believe in time to come, after phase 1, the no. of vacancies left will be split equally among phase 2a, 2b and 2c.

[phtthp]

the rate at foreigners converting into PRs is alarming! At Phase 1, now we can’t distinguish between who are the true blue Singaporeans born and bred here, vs. those PRs.


we must do something about this… Yes! , make a clear distinguish between fellow Singaporeans vs. those who are not.

if not, going forward 30 yrs from now - when come to our grandchildren generation, with influx of foreigners coming in so rapidly and getting converted into PRs so fast, even P2A will fast problem. Because by then, these PR grandchildren will be ahead of us - since they go under Phase 1 ranking.

the way i see it … 30 yrs from now, won’t be any Phase 2A1 nor Phase 2A2. It’s either Phase 1 or Phase 2A. Phase 2A1 & Phase 2A2 - will just be combined together, intoa common Phase 2A. No more phase 2B nor 2C, because the rate of foreigners coming into SG, converting into PRs is really alarming!

just look at NTU university … you see so many China students come here to SG get PRs so easily, all over entire campus.
