All About Getting Priority Registration

[mummy of 3]

kitcat:

If remove all the priveleges/priorities in P1 registration, but introduce P1 enrollment test for each primary school, and base on kid's test result to decide whether can enter concern primary school, it looks more fair...

I dun think this is fair enough.
It will be like base on whether the child is bright enough to enter the school.
It will be hurt to parents and child if they reject as your child is not bright enough... :roll:

Does anyone know how long to get Singapore citizenship? Besides the issue of citizenship, I believe many are thinking into renting an address and that will increase the rental fee.

Do we really want to subject our six year olds to entrance tests? As it is, PSLE, O-level and A-level are stressful enough, I really think that even if a child should go to a 'mediocre' primary school, so be it but really no need to force them to be so competitive at 6 year old, stress them out and perhaps shatter their self-confidence so early in life.

What is more impt is that MOE looks into the teaching quality of each school and even if the primary school doesn't seem 'branded', the quality of teaching is still high. A fact that will never change is that people look at 'branding' but if a children in 'non-branded' schools continue to do well, perception can change in the long-run.

Every child deserves quality education regardless of whichever primary school they go to.

My friend’s son refused to go to the given branded secondary and junior college school because he was afraid of stress and also the school was a distance far away from their house. Now he is a doctor, graduate from NUS. So what is branded or non branded school?

Hi Zakashi,

It takes at least half a year to obtain SC base on our past experience with SIR.
I conclude that properties around good/Branded schools will see a surge of more genuine Sporean buyers/renters given that it now favour SC more.
