Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

The problem is with the increasing flood of applicants at Phase 2A (children of alumni).

Phase 2A(2) shld limit itself to \"For a child whose sibling has studied in the school of choice\".

Then create another phase for \"For a child whose parent has studied in the school of choice\" with a quota.

good idea..there used to be no cap for those applying for phase 2b last time..

Can can, to increase chances of interaction, sign up for the enrichment centres in Coronation Plaza, shop at the NTUC there, go for dental check-up there, then have lunch / dinner in the eateries. :evil:

Have been through that phrase too. Personally i do went in with my eyes open. However, there are some unfairness that could be introduced. Eg member of clan. There are not clear guidelines on how long must the members be with the clan before they can have the "ticket" to 2B.


Saw some mommy posted previously she was with the clan for less than 1 yr and yet gotten the "ticket" to 2B. While ones need to be with the clan for at least 2 yr (from the same clan, am not comparing with another). If i’m the PV who has given direct contribution, i would be hopping mad if i know of such cases and yet my child is balloted out. Cos all these pple deprive the PV too.

Ofcos there are others that we don’t know about.

actually not very ethical for the school to allow PV if their affiliation has a huge pool of members, unless that particular school have not been very popular in the past and had a trend of vacancies after 2C.

i duno .. have to \"boost up\" popularity of the school

The new policy for Ph2C is that citizens will get 2 chances and PR 1 chance, right? So, it is fairer now compared to before…


Actually, I do agree that PR should not be in this phase at all, they should be in Ph 3. After all the taxes that we citizens have paid thru out our lives and our contribution in nation building, we do deserve a better chance than PR or should I say, Foreign Talent.

Er.. you are a PR? Many Singaporeans, esp those with 1 child only, have paid alot of taxes (no child concession mah), similar to my husband I. So what if some PRs are paying more taxes than the general Singaporean, that do NOT give them the rights to fight for places at our public schools in Ph 2C. Singaporeans, being citizens, should receive fairer treatment than PRs that may be here for a short term only.
Luckily, our child got in since we are staying within 1km.I have read in the forum that a parent failed at Ph 2C, after tolerating the horrible traffic at NY area for more than 30 yrs .. so sad! No wonder, PAP has lost so many votes in this yr's election.
