\nThis revision\u00a0to increase the number of reserved places from 20 to 40 will apply for children starting Primary 1 in 2023.
\nThe number of reserved places for incoming pupils under the Primary 1 registration\u2019s Phase 2C will double from 20 to 40 from next year, reported TODAY citing the Ministry of Education (MOE).
\nPhase 2A1 and 2A2 will also be combined into a single phase from next year.
\nPhase 2A1 is for children whose parents are alumni of the school or advisory or management committee members.
\nPhase 2A2 is for children whose siblings have studied in that school or whose parents attended or are working at the school. Children in MOE Kindergartens that are under the purview of the school are also qualified to register under this phase.
\nPhase 2C, on the other hand, is for children living closest to the school but do not have links with it like parents being an alumnus.

\nIn March, the MOE said that it would review the Primary 1 registration framework to help more children secure a place close to their home under Phase 2C.
\n\u201cThis is in the educational interest of the child, to help them spend less time travelling and have more time to pursue other interests as well as for the convenience of the family,\u201d said MOE in a statement as quoted by TODAY.
\nThe ministry noted that competition under Phase 2C had intensified in recent years.
\nAbout one in three schools had balloted in Phase 2C for Singaporeans living within 1km of a school, up from one in four schools seven years ago.
\nThe latest change is expected to benefit children seeking admission to 32 out of the 64 primary schools which balloted in the category this year.
\nThese 32 schools had 40 or fewer places at the beginning of Phase 2C, accounting for slightly less than 20% of all schools. These schools are probably where competition for a spot is the fiercest, likely due to the school\u2019s popularity and status as a preferred choice.
\nThe Government, in recent years, had noticed that the number of students enrolling in a school close to their homes and in which they have no affiliation had dropped, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.
\nHe believes that a balance needs to be achieved between providing convenience for children and their families and building a strong community for schools.
\n\u201cIt is not an easy balance to strike, and there is certainly no perfect balance. But we believe that it is timely to take another step towards ensuring our schools remain open to a diverse profile of children,\u201d he wrote on Facebook and quoted by TODAY.

\nPhase 2B, which is for children of parent volunteers or parents endorsed by a clan or church connected to the school, will still have 20 reserved places.
\nA third of the remaining vacancies by the end of Phase 2A2 will be set aside to Phase 2B, while two-thirds will be allocated to Phase 2C.
\nThe hike in reserved places for Phase 2C may result in fewer places in earlier phases.
\n\u201cWe expect that several schools would end up with relatively few or even no places left for Phase 2A2 registrants if we continue to maintain the differentiation of priority between Phase 2A1 and Phase 2A2 registrants,\u201d said MOE.
\nCombining the two phases will ensure those applying under Phase 2A2 a chance to register under Phase 2A. The merger will also better attain the objective of giving priority admission to MOE Kindergarten children.
\nMeanwhile, MOE revealed that it would update how it determines the \u201chome-school distance\u201d \u2013 whether a household is located within 1km or 2km of a primary school.
\nCurrently, the distance is calculated from a single reference point, which is based on the original building layout of the school, to the registrant\u2019s address even as the school building layout had significantly changed over the years.
\nFrom next year, the home-school distance will be calculated based on the school land boundary to the home of the registrant.
\nWhile the change may result in a \u201cslightly larger\u201d coverage of residential addresses within 1km and 2km of primary schools, MOE does not expect it to have any bearing on most registrants.
