Primary One Registration System: Ensuring Educational Equity and Equality

With the development of society and increasing competition, more and more parents are concerned about their children’s educational prospects. Particularly during the primary one registration phase, parents use various means to secure a better learning environment and resources for their children. However, Singapore’s primary one registration system has, to some extent, exacerbated the unequal distribution of educational resources and needs to be re-examined.

The current primary one registration system takes into account factors such as parents’ background, occupation, and social status, which leads to a bias in favor of children from more privileged backgrounds. As parents, we understand and respect the efforts made by every parent to seek better educational opportunities for their children, but we are also concerned about educational equity and equality.

To ensure educational equity and equality, we suggest a comprehensive evaluation and adjustment of the primary one registration system. Firstly, the priority and admission criteria should be adjusted to focus more on students’ abilities and potential rather than overemphasizing family background. This will help to ensure that children from different family backgrounds have the opportunity to enter quality schools.

Secondly, increase support for children from low-income families by providing more scholarships and financial aid to help them access better educational opportunities. At the same time, strengthen teacher training to ensure that educational quality is not compromised by differences in schools, allowing all children to receive quality education.

Additionally, promote exchanges and cooperation between various schools to share excellent educational resources and practices. This will help to break down barriers between schools, allowing more children to benefit from quality educational resources.

In conclusion, we hope that by re-examining and adjusting the primary one registration system, educational equity and equality can be achieved. This will give every child the opportunity to showcase their talents in fair competition and contribute to Singapore’s future.
