|July 25, 2025
Twenty-nine primary schools will conduct balloting for places in Phase 2B, the latest stage in the Primary 1 registration process in 2025.
These 29 schools are among 33 that are oversubscribed, meaning they received more applications than there were vacancies.
Tao Nan School in Marine Parade is the most oversubscribed in Phase 2B, with 63 applicants vying for 20 spots.
This is followed by Ai Tong School in Bishan, which has 62 applicants, and Nanyang Primary School in Bukit Timah, which has 53 applicants. Both schools are each offering 20 spots.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) updated the latest registration figures on its website on July 24 for Phase 2B, which ended on July 22 at 4.30pm. Results for this phase will be out on July 28.
MOE said that 81.6 per cent of its schools will not be conducting balloting.
Phase 2B is for parent volunteers at the school, parents endorsed by the church or clan directly connected to the school, or those endorsed as active community leaders. At this point of the exercise in 2024, 26 schools conducted ballots.
