Opinions of the Primary School Registration System

[NonKiasuDad]

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:

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.

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.

Just take a look at our national primary school registration system:


Total no of primary schools : 180
Total no of schools requiring balloting : 83 i.e. almost 50% of our national schools need to ballot to get in. We are not talking about kiasu parents clamouring for a few top popular schools anymore.

Out of those 83 schools, 62 require balloting within 1km i.e. almost 75%.

This is very strong data to proof a misallocation of resources. I urge the author to post this on HSK's FB page. Please do make sure the numbers and calculations are checked once more. Thanks.
