      How do MOE declare as priority to SC? Both parents SC or just one will do? There are millions of PR. If one of the parents will do, than it is still back to normal. We still have to fight with the PRs, as they are not pure SC.


      Citizenship relates to the child, not the parents.

      If this is so, what is SC priority? Back to square one.

          Zoe Tay only occupy ONE slot, not two.


          She enrolled her son under phase 2A in SJIJ (husband Mr Philip Chionh is alumni), not Henry Park. Newspaper journalists reported wrongly. Her son is now studying in SJIJ.

          under 2B although she clocked > 80 PV hrs at Nanyang, but because she stayed > 2km, she was not given any chance to ballot. So her eldest son stay put at SJIJ, Primary 1. Her second son is entering soon, P1 2014.

          had Zoe Tay shifted nearer to Nanyang < 1km, she would have got in readily.
          Precisely, the problem is, if she stays within 1km, and allow to ballot, do you think she will give up the place at this SJIJ first?

          If she got a place at nanyang primary, then she will release the place at this SJIJ. By then, those people ballot will have 1 chance less in SJIJ. Don't you think she is very selfish, inconsiderate and worst, she is a role model for a lot of people. I despise this type of selfish people.

            she has to release the place at sjij first before she could register at nanyang primary. and there is no guarantee she will get a place if there is balloting.

            also those people at sjij will not have 1 chance less because when she gives up her place in phase 2a, there is now 1 more vacancy for the phases after.

            but those at nanyang would have extra competition.

              She need to withdraw her place in SJIJ first before she is allow to register in Nanyang ... Dun really understand what u mean by 'those ppl ballot will have 1 chance less in SJIJ' coz the same phase close at the same time for alll sch, so if Zoe Tay stay 1 km of nanyang n she decide to try ballot at nanyang , ppl ballot at SJIJ actually have 1 chance more.

                  Not fair. This system still support PR. They should scrutinized parents' identity too. They must be SC to be given the priority.

                    with many prs kids go to non-popular schools, maybe year after year those non-popular schools become popular schools... who knows...

                      i think the whole issue lies in the fact that there are more than enough schools in SG, with so many more brand new schools built in Sengkang, Jurong, Punggol, etc - but there are not enough good schools to go round, meet the needs of all parents.


                      In fact P1 registration statistics reveal some schools not even 50% occupied nobody want, on the verge of closing down.

                      don't understand why MOE don't initiate Task force investigative study teams go down to assess, figure out and try to bring up the standard of such low enrolment schools. This is the key issue, crux of the problem.

                      MOE should seriously explore this area how to bring up the standard have more GOOD schools, if really want to sing the tune that \"All schools are good\".
                      i agree with you...
                      btw, just curious how those good teachers decide which school they want to teach in? distance from where they stay? quality of students?
