[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[Scary]

LOLMum:

Sometime things just happen at the last minute giving everyone no time to react.


I think this happened to one popular school but I just cant remember which one.

Eg, vacancies 50

Application for the 3 days as at 3.45 pm is 47 (within 1km), 3 (within 1 - 2km).

At 4.15 pm, all it need is to have 4 more living within 1 km to drop by to register.

Not only do The parents living within 1-2km have no time to switch school, the school also has no time to inform these parents. Plus those living within 1 km have to ballot.

Yes, heard it happen to one school last year. All those within 1-2km were affected last minute. No time to react.

Well the obvious solution is to phase the registration by distance. If filled by <1km families, close the list. Etc.


It’s not rocket science.

[LOLMum]

phase 2a is the only phase whereby kids living outside 1 km has a chance to get in.


as of now, places in many schools (phase 2b and 2c and also phase 1) are already taken up by those living within 1km. those living outside 1km are already getting the crumbs.

thus if every phase is to go by distance, what would those living outside be getting?

If priority is for kids to attend nr by school, then won’t removing phase 2 create more vacancy for also those stay slightly further? Just some thots.

[LOLMum]

Perhaps the groups in phase 2a have to be split up cos phase 2 a is not just about alumni.


those in moe who have to find ways to improve the system , headache. :faint:

I hope MOE will do something about this. Getting worse. :stupid:
