MOE to review P1 registration scheme

SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Education (MOE) is "studying various options to improve the P1 registration framework".
This was revealed in a letter written by an MOE official that was posted in an online teachers' forum, reported The Straits Times.
The letter was in response to suggestions provided by a school administration manager to the ministry late last year on possible changes to the Primary 1(P1) registration scheme.
The registration system has been criticised for giving too much priority to children with links to the school.
In the letter, the official added that any changes would take time to be studied and implemented, as suggestions from various groups would have to be studied carefully.
When contacted by The Straits Times, a ministry spokesman said the P1 registration framework is reviewed regularly, taking into consideration public feedback.
It underwent a major revamp in 1999, to give greater priority to parents who are active in the schools. This includes those who joined the alumni associations, and parent volunteers who served at least 40 hours at the school.
The most recent change was implemented in 2010, giving Singaporean citizens priority over permanent residents.
There are six phases in the P1 registration process, with top priority given to children who have a sibling currently enrolled in the school, followed by children of alumni, parent volunteers, or those with church or clan connections.
Non-citizens are last on the list.
But parents have complained that places are often oversubscribed, especially in the later stages.
In such cases, priority is given to those who live nearby.
According to The Straits Times, almost half of the 173 primary schools here had to hold ballots for children who could not get into schools near their homes.
Parents have also complained about the "unfair" system favouring alumni or those with church or clan associations, while others want the ministry to stop giving priority to any group.
But the most fervent calls have been for greater priority to be given to children who live near the schools of their choice, reported The Straits Times.
In 2010, two MPs in Parliament had cited cases of children who could not get in to schools very near their homes.
In its reply then, MOE said it could not guarantee places to those who live very close as that would place unnecessary constraints on the system.
Six out of eight parents interviewed by the paper yesterday supported any move to review the scheme.
The six phases in the P1 registration process:
- Phase 1: For a child who has a sibling currently in the school. All children registered under this phase will be given places in the schools of their choice.
- Phase 2A(1): For a child whose parent is a former pupil of the school and has joined the alumni association, or is a member of the school's advisory committee.
- Phase 2A(2): For a child whose parent is a staff member of the school, or whose parent or sibling has studied there. At the end of Phase 2A(2), half of the remaining places in schools will be allocated for Phase 2B and the other half for Phase 2C.
- Phase 2B: For a child whose parent is a volunteer and has put in at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school or who is a member of the church or clan association connected with it. This phase also applies to a child whose parent is an active community leader.
- Phase 2C: For a child who is ineligible for or unsuccessful in earlier phases.
- Phase 3: For a child who is not a Singapore citizen or a permanent resident.
If there are excess applications during each phase, admissions are then made based on how close the child lives to the school. Children living within a 1km radius of the school are given priority, followed by those within 2km.
If there is balloting in any of the phases, Singaporeans will get two ballot slips while permanent residents get one.
