2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take
-
qms:
Parents of twins get to choose whether they want to consider their twins as one or two. If they decide to split the twins, they will have 4 balloting slips. Of course, under this circumstance, if only one of them gets selected, the parents will have to look for another school for the other one.
OIC, thanks for the clarifications! -
BigDevil:
Oh.. really ah,.. I tot 1 child got 2 slips...if twin got 2 x2 heeheeThe multiple births will not have better chance during balloting because they get the same 2 slips (or 1 for PR) but put all their names on that slip.
Meaning for Singaporean twins, they still get just 2 slips, not 4. -

Hey parents,
I read so much about priorities to Sporean was wondering what can we do to make our opinion heard to the government? I mean, apart from writing in this forum, has anyone ever or planned to write to MOE? I think we could do it now, while the issue is seriously affecting the Sporean...we obviously do not want the same situation, or worse to happen again in the future!
If anyone is keen /preparing to write this note, why not we sign a petition, or collect our opinion as a group and voice it out ?
Just a suggestion here because we need to protect the best interest of our homeland, by raising a truely Singaporean educated child for our future!
We can individually write in to MOE http://www.moe.gov.sg/feedback/
to voice out this matter. Hopefully with more and more people writing in, our voices can be heard.
For the past few years, we already had enough PRs turned citizen and these kids will get the same priority as ours.
So, cannot afford to have PRs vying for the whatever little spaces left.
Isnt it ironic that we sporeans are deprive from a better chance to get into our own local schools with long history? -
as qms has mentioned parents of twins can choose to have 4 slips but then they risk having only 1 child in the school and will then hv to look for another school for the sibling if only 1 of the twins win the ballot… doubt any parens will take such risk

I have a question. I read from various thread that some parents registered under 2A and at the same time monitoring for another school under 2b.
In the event if they choose to withdraw their seat under 2A, their seat will be given to 2b or 2c? -

From what I guess as phase 2B has higher priority than phase 2C:I have a question. I read from various thread that some parents registered under 2A and at the same time monitoring for another school under 2b.
In the event if they choose to withdraw their seat under 2A, their seat will be given to 2b or 2c?
If after phase 2A2, there are 75 seat. 38 will go to 2B and 37 will go to 2C. If one of them withdraws under phase 2A2, the seat will go to 2C.
If after phase 2A2, there are 76 seat. 38 will go to 2B and 2C. If one of them withdraws under phase 2A2, then the seat will go to 2B. -

It'll go to whichever Phase is in session at the point of release.I have a question. I read from various thread that some parents registered under 2A and at the same time monitoring for another school under 2b.

If I'm not wrong, other countries Public School ,foreigners students (Including like PR etc) is not able to studies in their school? :roll:
They have to enrol under international schools, something like that. :roll: -
jtoh:
Actually I tot the school also has the option of holding back these seats. No?

Scary:
Actually PVs or not PVs doesn't matter at this pt if priorities are all given to Singaporeans. Tackle a problem at a time. To me, priority to be given to Singaporeans is most impt. Just like elections, PRs don't get to vote. PRs get lesser medical subsidies. Why in this case, PRs are on equal footing as Singaporeans and some even better than us? (Having said that, our population is around 5m now, election population is 2.Xm. Half population are those Sgporeans less than 21, PRs, etc. So one can roughly know how many PRs we have!!)[/quote]Scary, Agree with you with both a \"YES\" & \"NOT\". YES, If priorities are given to Singaporean first then we will not have today's situation. However, for super hot and popular schools with a long history and good track record the 2B PV scheme will still draw the line.... can we remove the 2B PV scheme as Champion had suggested ? You tell me... I think \"NOT\" because the 2B PVs also help legitimizes the clan members' and grassroot leaders' entitlement for those who have contributed in one way or another to a higher order then those who have not and besides PVs are needed and do help enrich the schools' programmes too... So, who are these people in the clan and grassroot group ?... want to make some guesses ? Hmmmm... :scratchhead: You tell me...it's anybody's guesses... your guess will be as good as mine :pokeeye: So let's not rock the boat too much.... But, Yes 100% AGREE must give priority to SINGAPOREANS FIRST !!! :gloomy: :sad:
It's really up to the school. Some schools, I think (suspect), may actually take in more PVs staying 1-2 km to give them a chance to go at it especially if their chance at Phase 2C, 1-2 km, is not too high to reduce some imbalances... of course not forgetting the need to stress that it is not guaranteed. No body can.teddy75:

****** quoting Champion before this ************
I am wondering - can we do away with this PV system? No offence to any parents but it would be fair and square for everyone if all fall under the same category....Well, I know some may beg to differ from my point here but seriously this PV thing is really creating the big hoo-haa - already 2 cases here in JW area [last year West Grove and this year Rulang] :sad
*********************
I suggest the schools seperate PV under distances (Priority given to accept more parents staying within 1km ) The remainings will then to be given for parents staying within 1-2km (depending on individual schools acceptance of how many PV on that year.)Since every year mostly all School PVs is within 1km go for balloting.
At least parents staying within 1km can choose to do PV or go under Phase 2C. This will gives parents within 1km have more chances .
For Singaporean , they thus have total 4 balloting chances whilst those not under Singaporean have total 2 chances .
MY SUGGESTION FAIR ENOUGH?
On another note, even if you, a Singaporean, are given 400 balloting chances and you stay 1-2km from a school of choice, the PR who stays within 1km and with only 1 ballot chance in his hand will still beat you to the queue... how's that food for thought ???
Call me selfish or what .....I can't help it but to agree and side with those who have remarked earlier that Singaporeans should be given priority over PRs whose registration should be placed in later phases after 1, 2A, 2B and 2C... unless someone have a fairer suggestion :imdrowning: :?:
