From 2023, MOE will also publish data from the preceding year’s P1 Registration Exercise to better support parents in their selection of primary schools. Parents may refer here for last year’s P1 Registration Exercise data, which will include last year’s available vacancies, registration applicants, and balloting information in the relevant phases for each school. If balloting was conducted for a specific phase, parents would see the category that balloting was conducted for, the number of vacancies available in the ballot, and the number of applicants who participated in the ballot. Parents can also view a list of schools within 2km of their residence and check whether these schools were oversubscribed in specific phases during last year’s Exercise.
