Phase 2A2 - don't know till tmorrow evening.

By tonight or early tomorrow morning, the outcome for Day 1 should be reflected in MOE web already. I remember that was the case 2 yrs ago when I register for P2B in Nan Chiau PS.

The school of my choice has 119 vacancies for 2(A)2, I called today and 60 have registered. I have this feeling it will go to ballot. If that happens I will withdraw since I live more than 10 km from the school. Can anyone advise if this is a good idea? I understand that if lets say 120 or 121 kids apply for 119 places, management may take in all to save on balloting procedure ... can anybody confirm?


Thanks much

Hmm.. My understadning is that we go by distance. If a;; 121 kids for that 119 places are n teh same distance category and also all are SC, then even if exceed by 1 application, all must ballot. Anyone else have a different understanding, please help enlighten.

I can understand why some parents felt getting balloted successfully is better than striking lottery now. Pretty unique Singapore experience.

Not really uniquely Singapore.

This is a growing trend in Asia, where parents get stressed to get their precious little ones into choice schools / kindergartens
