      Hi. Not sure if this has been asked. Anyone knows how long does it take for them system to process the declaration of caregiver’s address?

      We only submitted this last week as we were undecided (our house is within 2km but caregiver’s is within 1km). Tried to register for our child today (Phase 2C). Just realised we still have to wait for an approval email to notify us that the caregiver’s address is successful.

      So now we’re thinking to wait for caregiver’s application approval or just submit using our home address.

      even if use caregiver's address, though is <1km, rule is it will be treated as 1-2km.
      So no point. Just use your address which is same, 1-2km.


      Oh thanks for that. I have always had the impression that it’ll be treated according to caregiver’s address. Will just submit based on ours then!

        we are using a caregiver’s address it will be considered as 1-2km even if we are within 1km.


        Don’t anyone find this rule completely ridiculous and makes no sense?

        It’s totally unfair and illogical. it’s like calling an Apple an orange. Not sure why it exists in the first place, really lack of common sense on MOE’s part.

          It's in place to stop the abuse of caregiver's address, and use that to ballot those already hot <1km schools. If can use <1km, lots of parents will be using regardless of real care anot.

              Nope that doesn’t make sense. It’s already stated that the child has to stay at the caregiver’s place. So if the child is being taken care of by the caregiver, and the distance is within 1km how can it be magically changed to 1-2km.


              You guys totally don’t get this don’t you. This is a lack of common sense and totally unfair.

              No diff from Moe saying 1+1=3 and expecting us to accept it.

              How it should be is, if it’s abused then deal out punishment. Instead of making it unfair for everyone right from the start.

              Are you Suggesting to put all Nus male students in jail to prevent them from becoming sexual predators?

                Child doesn't need to stay at Caregiver's place. It is for the fetching and student care etc., to be cared by more conveniently. After that go back to parents' place.

                  My point is the caregivers address falls within 1km it must be treated as such. Not group them/is with the 1-2km people. This rule shows a complete lack of common sense.

                    [/quote]Lets agree to disagree then
                    because I support this policy

                    maybe the govt should remove the entire caregiver address concept then and insist on parents address to remove the \"confusion\"

                      [/quote]Understand your frustration, look at it objectively. If you were the one that bought properties within 1km, and several others uses their parents/siblings address to fight the spot with you, with no intention to even really cared for often by caregiver, you would think otherwise.

                        i don't understand your argument here because it is already stated clearly in MOE website about using caregiver's address for P1 registration. I put it here below:

                        If the caregiver’s address is within 2km of the school, your child will be balloted together with those of the same citizenship living between 1km to 2km of the school. This is regardless of how close the caregiver’s address is to the school.

                        If the caregiver’s address falls outside of 2km from the school, your child will be balloted together with those of the same citizenship living outside of 2km from the school.


                        There isn't any category for <1KM, 1-2KM & >2KM, but they rather categorized it as within 2KM or more than 2KM, which i feel it is fair to the residents that really staying near to the school.
