PRIMARY ONE REGISTRATION
EXERCISE FOR ADMISSION TO PRIMARY ONE IN 2008 |
|
|
|
|
The registration of children for admission
to Primary One classes in 2008 will be open from Tuesday, 3 July 2007,
to Thursday, 30 August 2007. The dates for the different phases of
registration are given at Annex A. |
|
All primary and full schools will be open
for registration from 8.00 am to 11.00 am and from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm on
Monday to Friday during the registration period. |
|
The list of primary schools and the places
available is at Annex B. |
|
The Ministry of Education (MOE) had opened
more classes in January 2007 to cater to the increase in demand for
Primary One places for the ＾Dragon Year￣ cohort. |
|
The number of school places for 2008 will be
accordingly adjusted to reflect the smaller cohort size. There will be
sufficient school places for all eligible Primary One students on a
regional and nationwide basis. |
|
Six New Schools in 2008 |
|
Six new primary schools will be opened in
2008. These are Anchor Green Primary, Beacon Primary, Endeavour Primary,
Greendale Primary, Innova Primary, and North Vista Primary. |
|
There will be one new school each in the new
towns of Bukit Panjang, Punggol, Sembawang, and Woodlands, and two new
schools in Sengkang. |
|
Annex C gives a list of registration
centres for new, merged and relocating schools. |
|
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 2001 and
1 January 2002 has to be registered at the 2007 Primary One Registration
Exercise for admission to Primary One in January 2008. Children born
between 2 January 1999 and 1 January 2001 (both dates inclusive), who have
not previously been registered for Primary One classes, may also be
registered for admission to school in 2008. |
|
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 the MOE
website (http://www.moe.gov.sg/ce/defer.htm)
or at the MOE Customer Service Centre at 1 North Buona Vista Drive (Tel:
6872-2220). |
|
Any queries on Compulsory Education may be
directed to MOE Compulsory Education Unit at Email: moe_ce@moe.edu.sg or
Fax: 6778-9356. |
|
Registration Procedures |
|
Parents registering their children under Phase
1 may submit the registration form and relevant documents 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 authorised 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 |
|
Children will be allocated places in the
school according to the order of priority spelt out in the Registration
Scheme at Annex A. Balloting will be conducted should the number of
applications to a school exceed the number of vacancies during any phase
from Phase 2A(1) to Phase 2C Supplementary. |
|
At the end of Phase 2A(2), 50% of the
remaining places in each school will be allocated for Phase 2B registrants
and the other 50% for Phase 2C registrants in the school. |
|
If the number of qualifying applicants in
Phase 2B exceeds the 50% cap, successful applicants will be determined
first by proximity category of residence to the school and then by ballot.
In the event that the allocated places for Phase 2B is not taken up, the
remaining vacancies will be carried forward to 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. |
|
The number of P1 places each school will offer
for the 2007 P1 Registration Exercise can be found at
