All About Getting Priority Registration

actually it is same as sec school and uni entrance tests...

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?

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.

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.

I checked with the MOE. They replied me that as long as the child is a Singapore citizen, they will accept it. It is not necessary to have both parent to be SC. I scatched my head.??? We still have to fight with the PR. Most of my friend’s spouse is still a PR and one of them is SC. Even with the "good" news, we still have to fight with the PRs. Don’t forget that they are outnumbered us even one of their spouse is a SC.

This could have happen in earlier years, whereby our govt grants SC to PRs easily. In recent mths, what i heard is that if only 1 parent apply to convert from PR to SC, together with the kids, it is usually rejected. Already heard of 3 rejected cases that applied 6 mths ago.
