anyone with any news on this ? I have heard rumors that there will be 40 places for each school before phase 3 but had dismissed them then as unreliable and highly unlikely. Not sure how the numbers on Phase 3 vacancies released do not tally with remaining slots after 2CS. Surely MOE would have taken them out just to release back seems like a rather an inefficient use of resources and manpower to now adressed if needed this will be adressed… SG is always so spot on with planning and forecasting in all domains hence it is so prosperous and well prepared… how can this 700+ no school number came about… there is no precedent for this… the number is simply to big and time or effort to deal with seems too much…

I can appreciate the frustration of SG over schooling yet equally or more worrisome its their resentment towards foreigners. The fees to locals schools are 500 a month i.e. 6000 a year so not exactly negligible. It is completely justifiable though ! the assumption however that all EP holders can afford 30,000 for international school fees is simply absurd. Not all Ep holders are bankers for whom companies are paying for these ludicrous schooling costs for international schools…

people should accept that societies are changing including singapore …Non singaporeans are brought in when local talents or manpower cannot fill in the positions for one reason or another.
foreigners are paying same taxes as PR or SG so should be getting a little something back like schooling with higher fees… it is not completely unreasonable… I am not sure if situation this year can be resolved but I am sure that Sg would be better prepared for next year…
Please do not respond by saying you can always back if you do not like. This is not constructive or useful in anyway. This xenophobic attitude shows no class or culture and is really unjustified as SG are very well treated by government and have no reason to show this hostility.

thank you for posting this kiasu dad… where did you get info. I have tried the MOE website but could only trace list of schools for balloting… any advice where to get info would be greatly appreciated… I am monitoring situation as phase 3 so will need to see vacancies after 2CS. best of luck to all of you …
