  • The Primary 1 registration for 2025 admission in Singapore will start on July 2, 2024.
  • The registration process is divided into several phases to accommodate different categories of applicants.
  • The MOE has introduced changes to improve the registration process, including increasing the number of places reserved for Phase 2C.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore has announced that the registration for Primary 1 admission for the 2025 academic year will commence on July 2, 2024. This annual event is a significant milestone for parents and children alike, marking the beginning of a child's formal education journey. The registration process is designed to ensure a smooth transition for children entering primary school, and it involves several phases to accommodate different categories of applicants.

Key Dates and Phases

The registration process is divided into several phases, each catering to different groups of applicants. The phases are as follows:

Phase 1: This phase is for children who have siblings currently studying in the school of choice. It ensures that families can keep their children together in the same school, fostering a sense of community and continuity.

Phase 2A: This phase is split into two sub-phases:

Phase 2A(1): For children whose parents are alumni of the school or are members of the school's advisory or management committee.

Phase 2A(2): For children whose parents are staff members of the school or who have siblings who are former students.

Phase 2B: This phase is for children whose parents are volunteers at the school, are endorsed by the church or clan associated with the school, or are active community leaders.

Phase 2C: This phase is for children who do not fall into any of the above categories. It is the most competitive phase, as it is open to all Singaporean children.

Phase 2C Supplementary: This phase is for children who were not successful in securing a place in Phase 2C.

The registration process is conducted online, making it convenient for parents to complete the necessary steps from the comfort of their homes. The MOE has also provided detailed guidelines and resources on their website to assist parents in navigating the registration process.

Changes and Updates

For the 2025 admission, the MOE has introduced several changes to improve the registration process. One notable change is the increase in the number of places reserved for Phase 2C. This change aims to provide more opportunities for children who do not have any prior connections to the school. Additionally, the MOE has implemented measures to ensure a fair and transparent allocation of places, including the use of a computerized balloting system for oversubscribed schools.

In a statement, the MOE emphasized the importance of ensuring that every child has access to quality education. "We are committed to providing a fair and transparent registration process that gives every child an equal opportunity to attend a school of their choice," said a spokesperson from the MOE.

Tips for Parents

To help parents prepare for the registration process, here are some useful tips:

Research Schools: Start by researching the schools in your area. Consider factors such as the school's academic performance, extracurricular activities, and proximity to your home.

Prepare Documents: Ensure that you have all the necessary documents ready, including your child's birth certificate, proof of residence, and any other required documents.

Stay Informed: Keep up to date with the latest information from the MOE and the schools you are interested in. This will help you stay informed about any changes or updates to the registration process.

Plan Ahead: Plan your registration strategy in advance. Consider which phases you are eligible for and have a backup plan in case your first choice is oversubscribed.

The Primary 1 registration for the 2025 admission is a crucial event for parents and children in Singapore. By understanding the registration process and staying informed about the latest updates, parents can ensure a smooth and successful transition for their children into primary school. The MOE's commitment to providing a fair and transparent process reflects their dedication to ensuring that every child has access to quality education.
