agree !

MOE must make this crucial, important info available for parents online real time. Else very difficult to make decision, if dun know by distance breakdown how many are SC, or PRs. Can't get thru telephone lines (keep engaged) at second half of day, or staff don't entertain telephone enquiries din want to be disturbed.

info has to be online, real time made available.
everybody pls chip in your part to feedback to MOE.
if one person write in, impact is lesser compared to many of us writing in concurrently to appeal for readily available, crucial info.

:goodpost:

Agreed with more KS people to sound wake up calls.

The idea to give priority to SC 0-1km, 1-2km,2km abv and PR 0-1km, 1-2,2abv, is GOOD. But, the same OLD Primary School admission method is not twisted n used.

Why don't make full use of the days before the actual ballot day ? My Suggestion :
Day 1 priorty for SC-0-1
Day 2 priorty for SC-0-1, SC-1-2,
Day 3 priorty for SC-0-1, SC-1-2, SC-2abv,
Day 4 priorty for SC-0-1, SC-1-2, SC-2abv, PR-0-1
Day 5 priorty for SC-0-1, SC-1-2, SC-2abv, PR-0-1, PR-1-2
Day 6 priorty for SC-0-1, SC-1-2, SC-2abv, PR-0-1, PR-1-2, PR-2abv

and a) applicants are given confirmed seat at the end of every day if all registered number in 2C (day 1 to 6) is less than 2C vacancy .
b) if registered number is more than 2C vacancy, then ballot is needed at Day 7 or Aug 7.
c) Sincere hoppers can always hop around from previous stages 2A,2B,2C as long as they know the availability (2C vacancy MINUS all registered number).

I think 'kiasuNewBie (starsecure)' words in Page 242 is well written. Guessed that MOE already have 4 alarm clocks for the wake up call, perhaps, they would need another alarm clock.

i those who think Alumni should be scrapped.. it's really a pity to see some children have to be at the pickup location so early in the morning and travel 30 km daily just to go to school and back. Just because the child parents are an alumni to a certain branded school and home is like 15 km away...


distance should be priority after citizenship&siblings.. if schools are located really in those less populated areas, the instead of 1 km.. we can move the radius to 5km.. it's still less then 15 km!

I think mindset should be changed that only branded schools have alumni! Neighbourhood schools have that too. If distance is a priority, I am afraid these so called branded schools will be taken over by the rich and wealthy who can easily afford accomodation right next to it.

This is the worst year

the ordeal is over. Sleep well tonight.

:imcool:

It's a good thing for the priority for SCs over PRs. Otherwise it will be a nightmare for this year registration.
