Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

[1amber]

I have fond memories of Swiss Cottage Pri...the principal Mr Ratnagopal is a very nice man...don't quite remember the big forest though :scratchhead:

That's becoz the school collected donation from us and chopped off all those trees! They were on the same level as the field.

But how many within 1km will be Singaporeans Vs how many PRs? If you are Singaporean and live within 1km, should have a very good chance?


Any idea how many PRs tried last year in P2C? I see quite a number of ang moh kia going to RGPS in the afternoon. They cannot be Singaporeans right?

NonKiasuDad,


this is the topmost qn that every fellow Singaporean wish to know.
however, only MOE and RGPS school computer database store these confidential info. Wont be revealed to public easily.

for PRs who stay <1km and manage to ballot in successfully, it means one Singapore born citizen child is being denied entry into RGPS. Is this fair to our fellow Singaporean citizens ?

if this PR child manage to enrol successfully this year, and if she happen to have a sibling next yr due for P1 enrolment, then her sibling will automatically enter under Phase 1 next yr. She will no longer come under Phase 2C, but come in given highest priority under Phase 1 sibling scheme. This means another SG born fellow citizen is going to be denied entry again into RGPS, at next year batch.

if nothing is going to stop this, this whole scenario just keep accumulating. In future next 10 to 30 yrs down the road later, we'll see many PR kids occupying Phase 1 seats - that ought to have been the privilege of our SG born fellow citizens children in the first case.

and look at the rate of PRs coming into SG, is alarming!

is this what fellow Singaporeans wish to witness in future, for our SG born kids ?

many already collected their pink i/cs....

[phtthp]

if the PRs have converted into SG citizenship & collected their pink ICs, then i got nothing to say. Because then they also become part of us, also become fellow Singaporean citizens.


but are you sure everyone has collected pink IC ? you got evidence to prove to us that everyone has pink IC?

:offtopic:

Actually phase 1 & 2 should only for Singapore citizens.
Phase 3 for PR , with phase 3a (siblings) 3b( pv) & 3c.
Phase 4 for foreigners.

If a PR child already in the sch n coming next yr got sibling wanna enroll then he will only be qualify in 3a unless they convert to Singaporean.

[phtthp]

yes puff, i totally agree with you.


Phase 1, P2A, P2B, P2C and P2CS should be applicable only to SG born citizens.

PRs should come in after all SG kids enter succesfully, but before foreigners.

Too bad we r not the minister :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

[phtthp]

ya lor, we are only 'xiao ren wu' (small fly), far away from an Education minister.

:snuggles: :imcool:

but at times, i dread to think what kind of vacancies our grandchildren can possibly have 30 yrs later ? :?:

Puff, I agree with u too. The enrolment preference should be clearly Singaporeans first, followed by PRs, then foreigners. But now there’s little advantage if being a S’porean kid over a PR except in balloting. So you see parents of PR kids don’t think of converting into citizens, as they’re already enjoying almost the same benefits as citizens, but also benefits from their own country, best of both worlds.
