Opinions of the Primary School Registration System
-
teddy:
It is impossible to \"catch\" all at a time. Maybe show S&P agreement during registration to prove that you own a particular place? This will prevent people from renting.Actually it is more rampant than you think or know, many variations:
1) Parents use own parents or relatives addresses to register, but never really live in that address
2) Parents rent the smallest & cheapest rental property to register for P1 but never live there
3) Parents bought a property just to register for P1, then after getting their kid registered, sell away and move far away within 1 or 2 years (no intention to stay within 1km of the school for long - they knew this all along)
4) Parents rent and live in the rental property to register for P1 but after getting in, move far away within 1 or 2 years
5) Parents use their own properties that they don't live in but rented out or intending to rent out (but keep empty for a few months to facilitate them to use that address) to register for P1 -
All our primary schools are well-resourced with good teachers, suitable facilities and sufficient funding for school programmes. They are fully equipped to develop every child to his or her fullest potential, and [b]there are sufficient school places in every region of Singapore to cater to the needs of all Singaporean children[/b]
May I please ask MOE to consider reviewing the above sentence especially for the extremely popular schools alongf Bukit Timah & Dunearn Road area. Please lar, everyone know there ISN'T SUFFICIENT school places for residents along these roads :roll: -

any chance for the teachers to rotate every 3 years maybe? So sap teachers goes to non-sap school n non-sap teachers go to sap school…since every teachers have to graduate from moe n holding same qualification.

do u think the sch will call up parents to withdraw if they no longer stand a chance? I recall reading on this forum that schs will do that.
Yes, school will call those parents to withdraw if they don't stand a chance at all.
And I totally agree with MRO6's suggestions. For those parents who are staying within 1km, please register first.
My son's school always have this scenerio, parents will normally use my son's school as a backup but please if your first choice is not SJIJ, please do not come to register cause the school does not welcome you.
Just like last year, because of the irresponsible act of those parents staying within 1 km and did a last minute registration on the last day, busted the number by 2 seats. Those poor parents who are staying between 1 to 2km and who sincerely want to go to SJIJ and who knows most likely they will have to go to the ballot box does not even get a chance to ballot, all thanks to the irresponsible within 1km parents who register in the very last minute.
It irks the teachers to the core and they know who you are, the not sincere one and you are really not welcome. -

Think the solutions to prevent unfair registration to take advantage of the 1km and 2km distance can be as follow, it is whether MOE willing to implement or not:
1) Parents must use self-owned residential address to register kids for P1
OR
2) Parents who use rental address or their own parents' or relatives' address (in the name of \"staying\" with their parents or relative' but in reality are not) must not own any property (to prevent rent or change address to just for registration but not staying in there)
AND
3) Parents who moved out of 2km of the school within 3 years after kids got into the P1 of the school must be transferred to another school within 1km or at least 2km of their new address (to prevent abuse of buying to register and then selling with no intention of staying there for long).
Actually, the most unfair of all that should be removed are:
1a) Grassroot leaders - what on earth should they get priority when they live far away from that school and deprive another kid from entering the school that they live within 1-2km?
1b) Affiliations of churches, clans etc - Why should these people get priority P1 registration into a mainly Govt funded schools? If they want priority they should set up their own fully funded schools! Heard that many join these churches & clans including PRs just to get priority.
2) Alumni & old girls & old boys! - Sleeping alumni & old girls & old boys who don't contribute to the school and they live far away, why should they get priority?
3) Parent volunteers! Yes, MOE created these cheap and free labourers for the schools so that schools can save money even if these people live far away from the school? :rahrah:
I won't be surprised that many parent volunteers are now mostly PRs getting priority to get into the school when govt laid new regulations to give more priority to citizens! New regulations are useless when there are so many loopholes in P1 registrations!
And I heard PRs can also be grassroot leaders as they tried all means to priority over citizens in P1 registration. Is this true? :mad: -
Another better way: :idea:
Parents when registering P1 for their kids need to show last 6 months of utility bills which is billed to them in their own name.
For sure those who don't live in there can't present such bills with reasonable usage of electricity and water. Those rent to use address and not living there will show near extremely low water and electricity usage!

Fully agreed PRs will go for the phase 2B route on the current P1 'SC absolutely priority' system loophole. In the end, we may hv PRs and SC flooded in to become PV or grassroots. -
