Agreed on the point that the most influential factor is still the child. Going to a top school may do more harm than good due to peer pressure. Unlike some parents who will send their kids 10km away to a top school, I just want a school next door, after living here for so many years. . .

Agree with what you say..as a father, i would also wan my son to study in a school near home and not subject him to the journey to and fro from a school 10KM away.... courtesy of MOE.

Their existing policy of Primary School Registration is a total disgrace. Why give equal rights to non-citizens?? Those within the PAP party and working senior management level MOE staff can easily get school under Phase 2B, do we citizens have such luxury?

My son lost both ballots in Phase 2C and Phase 2C Supp. MOE posted him to a school more than 5KM away instead of the 3 neighbourhood school around my home. This is the type of assurance MOE gives to all Singaporean, there is always place for your child....however far it is from your residence is never MOE concern, good luck.
