MOE Relooking P1 registration - Too much priority to alumni

[CactusInDesert]

I think Mr Heng should not make such comments so early as it makes so many parents wondering day and night what are the changes and most importantly, when is the change. Or is he trying to ‘fish’ for more suggestions from forums?


At least, he should address whether it will affect this year registration since it is so near now.

does Mr Heng have a facebook account ?


if Yes, can go online and ask him direct -
if announce by end June 2012 this year because July start P1 registration, does it mean only announce but won't hit 2006 kids, but impact only subsequent later batch - esp. those registering near 2016 target single session ?

besides facebook, some Minister have started their own blog.
not sure if Mr Heng has a blog.

alternately, can write in MOE ask - when is Target implementation date ?

I would propose that ONLY citizens are eligible for the Phase 2A-C and all unallocated spaces be given to PRs after that. Now, that is real piority.

That means BOTH parents are Singaporeans.

Why would Nan Chiau needs so much donations (and for diff purposes) when it’s back by SHHK?

The above say by someone in nan chiau thread.
I paste it here as I felt there is alot of irony . I read how pple suggest that which
Group of pple should be eliminate during registration. Some say
Alumni , some even say clan … But when need to get donations from parents,
It will be push to clan . Want to eliminate alumni for the sake of your own children,
How about when your grand children time , moe decided cannot take in pple from alumni , will you hit tables and chair say it is not fair … Irony …

Yup...some people wanted changes in alumni (phase 2A) and sibling phase (phase 1-guaranteed). Yes, these 2 stages take up many vacancies. When our grandchildren go to P1, don't we want them to have ease of entry ?

Kids should be children of Singapore citizens.
For cases when family is outstationed, kids' birth will be registered with embassy..he/she will be PR of that country of birth but still a Singapore citizen.

I also believe that we should look at parents citizenship since the child(ren) follow the parents wherever they go (or want them to go), not like they have a choice… And yes, both parent shd be SG citizens. I disagree with one parent being PR so that they can have the best of both worlds (retaining the other country’s benefit as a citizen).
