All About Getting Priority Registration

lynn2009:
I have friend who is alumni and did not serve the school actively. Worst, just joined alumni because the boy is due for p1 registration. NowI have a clearer picture of some alumni does contribute to the school actively.thus, they deserved to go to phase 2a. But for those inactive alumni, they should serve the school within a certain period of time in order to entitle phase 2a. No system is perfect but improvement is needed.
that friend of yours is under 2A1 (alumni)... Pls do not pull the whole of phase 2A in...
2A2 belongs to old gals and boys and even teachers teaching in that sch...(So next time your children will belong to this group.)
Unlike some of us here where our pri sch was closed down... we don't even belong to 2A2... but 2C .... :sad: ...

during my times...in the late 80s and early 90s already have the phase 1 policy( i remember getting the registration forms for my sister and brother...my teacher even asked the whole class , those who have sister or brother coming to primary school to get the forms from her)...as for the phase 2A(1 n 2) i suppose it is rolled out in the late 80s or 90s too... -

Agree with u 100% -
If you ask me, I think the first group that MOE should cut or cap is GRL under Phase 2B. Currently, the school plans by limiting or abolishing PVs, the clan association plans by limiting the number of recommendations. Then all these planning can be overwhelmed by a swarm of applications under the GRL route. What is worse is that the GRLs are not restricted to applying for a particular school. They can choose ANY school in the GRC. I don’t think they would be choosing the less popular schools in 2B, would they?
Furthermore, GRLs are supposed to be reflecting public opinions and the difficulties their constituents encounter upwards. How can one expect them to communicate the difficulties faced by parents if they are the ones who benefit from the current system? And I am not even getting into whether the grassroots organizations are actually political.
I think MOE should at least improve transparency and publish how many letters are issued for GRLs in each GRC; and how many registrations in each school in 2B are (1) PVs; (2) clan or church members; and (3) GRLs. -

The alumni are the very reason why a school is popular now. If not for the alumni who studied hard while they were in that school and got good results, the school would not be popular in the first place, and we won't be having this discussion.
........ for alumni, what do they contribute other than study in that school before?......... -

Can choose any school but if stay outside 1km of that school, it is still pointless. When comes to phase 2b, those who stays within 1km will get the advantage.

In my 2 cents opinion, maybe MOE should start to look at ownership of the property use for registration rather than IC address, many people rent a place to register their children. Especially those within 1km from good school.lilfeets:
Today's ST has a parent writing in to ask for abolishing of Phase 2A: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Sto ... 23421.html
Priority for citizens not effective enough...
Many good school now are a result of hard work from school staff, kids studying there & parents/alumni support. The bonding with the school for generations will never be understood by outsiders who just want to take advantage of the current success of the school. My FIL & DH went to the same school, they are passionate about their school, join the same alumni, contributed much to the school in everyways they can even after they graduated. So naturally we will want our DS to have a secure place in the same school, share the same spirit & passion too!
