PRIMARY ONE REGISTRATION EXERCISE FOR ADMISSION
TO PRIMARY ONE IN 2007 |
|
|
The registration of children for admission
to Primary One classes in 2007 will be held between Tuesday, 4 July
2006, to Tuesday, 29 August 2006. The dates for the different phases of
registration are given at
Annex A. |
|
All primary and full schools will be open
for registration from 8.00am to 11.00am and from 2.30pm to 4.30pm on
Monday to Friday during the registration period. |
|
The list of primary schools and the places
available is at
Annex B. |
|
Larger Cohort Registering for Primary One |
|
The demand for primary one places this year
is expected to be 9% higher than last year¡¯s as this is a ¡°Dragon Year¡±
cohort. MOE will open more classes to cater to this increase in demand.
There will be sufficient school places for all eligible Primary One
students on a regional and nationwide basis. |
|
Compulsory Education |
|
Under the Compulsory Education Act,
Singapore Citizens born after 1 January 1996 and residing in
Singapore are required to attend national primary schools
regularly. |
|
Thus, a child born between 2 January
2000 and 1 January 2001 has to be registered at the 2006 Primary One
Registration Exercise for admission to Primary One in January 2007. |
|
Children born between 2 January 1998 and
1 January 2000 (both dates inclusive), who have not previously been
registered for Primary One classes, may also be registered for
admission to school in 2007. |
|
If a child is assessed as being not
ready or suitable for Primary One on medical grounds, a parent may
seek approval from the Compulsory Education Unit for deferment of
registration. |
|
Application can be made using the
relevant form available on MOE¡¯s website (www.moe.gov.sg)
or at the MOE Customer Service Centre at 1 North Buona Vista Drive
(Tel: 6872-2220). |
|

be directed to MOE¡¯s Compulsory Education Unit at Email:
moe_ce@moe.edu.sg or Fax:

|
Registration Procedures |
|
Parents registering their children under
Phase 1 may submit the registration form and relevant documents (see
Para 14) through the older sibling who will be given the form by the
school. |
|
For registration under Phase 2A(1) to
Phase 2C Supplementary, a parent or a person authorized by the
parent in writing is to submit the registration form and relevant
documents at the school of choice. Each child should be registered
at only one school at any one time. If the child is registered at
more than one school, he may lose his place in the school of choice. |
|
Allocation of Places |
|
Places in the school will be allocated
according to the order of priority spelt out in the Registration
Scheme at
Annex A. There will be balloting amongst the applicants if the
number of applications to a school exceeds the number of places
available in any of the phases from Phase 2A(1) to Phase 2C
Supplementary. |
|
The remaining places in each school at
the end of Phase 2A(2) will be allocated equally to Phase 2B and
Phase 2C. If the number of qualifying applicants in Phase 2B exceeds
the places available, the outcome will be determined first by
proximity category of residence to the school and then by ballot.
Any places not taken up during Phase 2B will be added to the places
allocated for Phase 2C. |
|
MOE will post children who are
unsuccessful in obtaining a Primary One place in a school of their
choice at the end of Phase 2C Supplementary to schools near their
homes that still have vacancies. |
|

offer for the 2006 P1 Registration Exercise can be found at
