zac's mum:

Seems like this year MGS not so “hot”? Balloting for SC 1-2km, meaning SC <1km all in.

Some people speculated that its because its a christian sch and dragon girls are not as popular as the boys

12yrs ago, also a similar scenario at mgs.

Either way, im more than happy. LOL

Think this had more to do with the 30 months rule rather than less girls. Most parents due to the 30 months rule, move within proximity to co-ed schools or where there are all boys & girls schools.

momi:

unfairness as in how some people manage to join the popular GRC by “connections” and cut short the length of service. Totally feel this GRL thingy should be scrapped.

Agree, shld be scrap if volunteering at grassroots is not purely to serve the community.

It'll be tougher to get volunteers then

Volunteer is \"someone who freely offer to do something...\"but to offer to do something in return for something else...\" does sound iffy to me, so how can our country tolerate such a system...?

What The:

[quote=\"Mummythad\"]I thought it's logical to increase no. of places? Nothing to hide or what...every Dragon year babies will have more space and MOE knows. Look at birth rate for Dragon year and they just plan accordingly. Logic...

MOE look at the total number of available slots, which is enough for the total number of Dragon kids.
i.e. the strain is still on the so called \"branded\" schools which now face more competition with increased demand.

the branded schools didn't increase intake...meaning those still aiming for them will face balloting at 2A for some.

MOE always said all schools are good schools...so there are more vacancies now.

I remember back in 2006, it was really madness when son registered for p1. even secondary schools increased 1 extra class.[/quote]Yes, Minister of Education and MOE always say all schools are good schools. Can anyone tell me which Minister's kids are in a non-branded Primary school?

Does anyone know with the new computer balloting by MOE, is it independently audited? Can we get the audit results? Now if its rigged, we also can’t tell.

In the old manual balloting at least you can witness the process.
