Due to insufficient vacancy at Admiralty Primary School, my daughter must go through the balloting process. It will be held on this Thursday at the school multi purpose hall.
I have check that all the neighbouring primary school within 1KM of my home has to go through balloting. The government has encouraged us to have more child but getting a vacancy in school is also difficult. If we are unsuccessful in the ballot, the school assigned to us maybe 2 KM away from our home.
This lack of vacancy has prompted some parents to do volunteer work at school which they are interested to enrol in. You must be a volunteer at the school two years before your child is due to enrol. The motive is not to do free volunteering but to secure a primary school position for the child. I wish all parents the best in primary schools that balloting is needed.
