All About Getting Priority Registration
-
haha all that storm in a teacup over alumni registration! guess everyone frantically posting in that thread can now breathe easy.
And those who were posting in the Singaporeans-first thread can do a little victory dance. -

Yes, all phases remain the same.BigDevil:
[quote=\"Lindsay\"]Now that MOE has done their review, I see that Singapore citizens get priority over PRs but does this mean that all Phases remain the same?
Like Phase 1 - siblings in the sch, Phase 2 -Alumni, etc.. remain the same?
And PRs in earlier phases still get in before SC in subsequent phases.
The SC priority over PR only applies within the same phase.
I think There is still a loophole. For those PR knowing that they will be in 2C, what they need to do is to volunteer PV, then they will leapfrog to 2B and so call guarantee a place without balloting. MOE should also eliminated PV.[/quote]But i think they cant get into popular school easily anymore. :roll: -
Hi if according to the kiasuparents map, my block is \"partially\" within 1km of a school, does it apply to the entire block? or certain units only? sorry if it sounds like silly qn. :oops:

Please go to OneMap and use the School Query function. It will show you schools that are within 1 km and 1-2 km of your house. -
If remove all the priveleges/priorities in P1 registration, but introduce P1 enrollment test for each primary school, and base on kid’s test result to decide whether can enter concern primary school, it looks more fair…

it favours the rich too for entrance tests.
those who are rich and have the time could afford the best tuition/enrichments.
besides sitting for entrance tests, dont be surprised if schools ask for awards/certificates of compeition/contests etc the child has participated in.
so who has the time and money to spend on compeitiont/contest? again the rich.
who is the one who is going to suffer? the poor child! she at a very young age (6 months music class) who has to attend all sorts of tuition/enrichments/compeition/contests etc just to build up a portfolio in order to get into a school and she might lose out to a another child who happens to have one more certificate for winning a teeth brushing compeition. :siao: (for your info, this happened in hong kong a few years ago which was reported in papers about exam fever in schools in hk).
it is bad enough that students have such heavy workload in primary school, why do we parents still want to rob them of their 6 years of childhood. -

even w/o prs, scs within same distance oso compete each other, for those popular schools, the property around are expensive and only rich can afford...it favours the rich too for entrance tests.

the rich can afford, so the poor in order not to be left behind would do anything to catch up.
so who suffers? the child of both the rich and poor.
