2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[zeemimi]

These foreigners may not necessarily be residing in Spore. Many of them travel from JB to Spore on weekdays and travel back in the evenings. Others are mostly rich Indonesians (or other nationalities) who live with their relatives / friends in Singapore. They pay a higher rate of school fees and do not have Edusave.


MOE is not obliged to provide places for foreigners. They just take what is left.

The schools left in Phase 3 are usually not very popular with Singaporeans. Hence the competition element with regards to registration is minimal. Of course they will compete with our kids in terms of academic pursuits. But I believe such competition is healthy and inevitable. We cannot shelter our kids very much.

erm .... please don't :spank: me for this. I'm just trying to offer an alternative and balanced view.

Agree with you. :goodpost:

Putting things into perspective; Ultimately, the biggest 'competition' that we Singaporean parents are facing is still our fellow Singaporean parents. I pity MOE, there is really no way it can please us all.

Hi,


I would like if those foreigners children taken up the place in the public school. SO does it mean that their next sibling in line will join the phase 1 in the coming year.

their subsequent children will be eligible for phase 1 if and only if they become PR or Citizen.

children of foreigners are only eligible for phase 3

Yes !!!!

But on the MOE website, it's stated that only children who are Singaporeans or PRs are eligible for P1 - P2C.

Pls check out MOE website, I think it's stated very clearly in the eligibility column http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases/

Hi,


Thanks for your information. I think that should be fair enough.

If based on birth rate(Singaporean vs Singaporean), I don't forsee school like acsj, Chua cho Kang primary, sji will need to ballot in phase 2c....


Somehow, some seats are taken up from unexpected foreigners turn PR and they do pv, church/clan/grassroot(?) that occupy the places.

Birth rate in 2005 is not that high, you know....
