With effect from the 2012 Primary One Registration Exercise, for non Singapore Citizen / Singapore Permanent Resident children who have not been able to obtain a place at their school of choice after the Phase 3 balloting, MOE will post the child to a suitable primary school with vacancy. The posting outcome will be released to the parent a month after the balloting. MOE posting is final and no appeals will be entertained. Schools will also not entertain any walk-in applications.
MOE not tweaking P1 registration formula: Minister of State
AsiaOne | Mon Sep 10 2012
SINGAPORE: Instead of tweaking the Primary One (P1) registration exercise, the Ministry of Education (MOE) is concentrating its efforts on providing good schools in different neighbourhoods.
Senior Minister of State Lawrence Wong was addressing questions raised by Member of Parliament Lim Biow Chuan during the Parliament session today on whether MOE is setting aside at least half the number of available places in each school to cater for pupils registering under Phases 2B and 2C.
Phase 2B is for children whose parents are volunteers with the school or members of an affiliated church or clan. Parents who are community leaders may also apply. Phase 2C is for children who are eligible for P1 the following year but have not registered in a primary school.
Mr Wong ensured that there are sufficient schools across Singapore and children do not need to travel too far.
He also said that MOE is investing in well-trained teachers, good infrastructure and is encouraging parents to make well-informed school choices.
Competition for places in primary schools has been intense, with some parents not being able to enrol their child into a school near their houses.
In the current system, parents who volunteer regularly at the school are allowed higher priority in the enrolment process.
