30 schools to hold ballot in Phase 2B of P1 registration, up from 26 last year

There were 33 primary schools getting more applications than places available in Phase 2B of the Primary 1 registration exercise this year, data from the Ministry of Education website showed on Friday .

This means nearly a fifth of Singapore's 181 primary schools were oversubscribed in this phase, with Methodist Girls' School leading the pack with 79 applicants for 20 places.Phase 2B - the third phase of the registration exercise - is reserved for children whose parents volunteer at the school, those endorsed by the church or clan directly connected to the school, or those whose parents are endorsed as active community leaders.

Of the oversubscribed schools, three will not hold a ballot - Fairfield Methodist School, Xinmin Primary School and Northland Primary School, MOE said. The Straits Times understands that this may be due to factors such as the citizenship status of the applicants disqualifying some pupils in tie-breakers for spaces.
