Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

[phtthp]

Yes, agree with Janet, pinetart, superduperks!


so ridiculous! our SG education system - originally meant to educate our own SG children is now been abused of !

once outsider kids go in via Phase 1, means our own SG kids get SQUEEZED OUT, DENIED a place!


we want JUSTICE!

Haiz...I am also a \"victim\" of this problem: Staying just opposite XXX primary school( 1 min walk ONLY!! ), got ballot out some years back and my poor child now has to travel several kilometers away to study in a convent school. And yet, we have people from as far as the other side of the island coming to this school near my place to study. Crazy P1 registration....every year there will be tons of complaints ,but after ten thousand years...still almost no chances made. At the end of the day...someone will say \"there is no system that will make everyone happy etc etc etc. True...but for many many years, many had enjoyed the way this system runs....it is time to change right?

Although there is no system that will please all, but at least listen to the people and do something. I believe the immediate prob is PRs enjoying P1 registration (Phase 1 to 2C) with Singaporean kids. There is a reduction in classes, so if PRs are enjoying same priority, it's not 'Singapore-First' anymore.
Govt says birth rate decreased, then why introduce 2 balloting slips for Singaporean kids ? Obviously THE GOVT is aware that our kids are being squeezed out and have to face balloting bcos of PRs.

No use complaining here. Must bring this up to the minister. I am sad that govt is not doing anything about this (ok, only token 2 votes for Singaporeans).

CayennePepper, you made my day. :rotflmao:

JGMum, you made me very happy that you didn't :stompfeet: at my post, haha. When I was scrolling down the page to read your comment, I was thinking you could be :torchme: You see, I'm actually very peace-loving and very chicken!

I certainly wouldn't call you \"chicken\" for posting this hilarious post! Very brave of you, actually. It was so funny that I specially come back to KSP forum today to read your post again!!

the correct P1 registration education policy solution should be :-


- let all fellow Singaporeans compete amongst ourselves, all the way from Phase 1 to 2C. This is called ‘SINGAPOREAN Phase 1 to 2C’

- let all PRs compete amongst themselves in a newly Created PR Phase; inside also got Phase 1 to 2C. But give it another name called ‘PRs Phase 1 to 2C’.

but not to compete with SG born citizens, please.
We must distinguish clearly!

- let all foreigners compete amongst themselves in a newly Created Foreigner Phase. Call it another new name, ‘Foreigner Phase 1 to 2C’.

as to the limited vacancies in Popular schools, let MOE receiving high pay Ministers and ministry solve this problem.

instead of letting so many primary schools lying around the whole of SG with such poor low student enrolment (some can’t even form 1 class properly), MOE to figure out how best to improve or entice students to enter these schools. This way, will serve all the needs of parents from (SG phase, PR phase, Foreigner Phase).

there is no impossible solution. it’s whether they want to come together, brainstorm for solutions how to go about implementing feasible solution, or at least test out for pilot run to see.

PRs should not be given the priority of the Ph 1& 2. If they are forced to ballot for their every kid, it will ‘motivate’ them to consider taking up citizenship or discourage them fm competiting for places at the ‘hot’ schools.

:salute: Very well said and workable solution, Please upload to MOE Minister Facebook for his attention. :xedfingers:

[superduperks]

Aiya, just tell our dear Ministers, we have no more homeland la. Let’s get all PRs "people" to cheer for our so-called NDP this coming tues.

[GSK]

After going thru this year registration, I would tink only phase 1 should remain, the rest of the phases are bullshitting and should be abolish. All balloting after phase 2, without going by distance.

Choose what parents preference is the best. Balloting is the fairer.
