Will Returning Singaporeans be taking up places that previously went to students residing in Singapore? Will this make it more difficult for students residing in Singapore to get into popular primary schools?
Returning Singaporeans will only be offered places in schools with vacancies at the Primary 2 to Primary 5 levels. This will not affect the existing students residing in Singapore. For Primary 1, children residing in Singapore and Returning Singaporean children have equal opportunities to seek admission to primary schools of their choice during the Primary One Registration Exercise. If Returning Singaporean children want to be admitted at the Primary 6 level, the school will, in consultation with their parents, decide whether to accept the children since Primary 6 is the critical PSLE year.
