PRIORITY OF ADMISSION TO SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN OF MEMBERS OF GRASSROOTS ORGANISATIONS

Mr Chiam See Tong asked the Minister for Education whether children of members of Citizens' Consultative Committees, Community Centre Management Committees and Residents' Committees, by virtue of such membership only, are automatically accorded priority of admission to primary one in any school of their choice under Phase 2B.

Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam: Children of members of Citizens' Consultative Committees, Community Centre Management Committees and Residents' Committees are not automatically accorded priority of admission to primary one in any school of their choice under Phase 2B but they can register their first, second or third child for admission to primary one in a school within the constituency they are serving or residing under Phase 2B.
