The Primary 1 registration frenzy did not hit every school.
There are three neighbourhood schools which can barely form a class next year.
Hong Kah Primary School in Bukit Batok West has only 23 pupils registered for next year so far, even though it can take up to 150.
Meanwhile, balloting had to be conducted at 22 schools during the Phase 2C Supplementary.
Registration for Phase 3 – which is taken up by those who missed the earlier phases and foreigners – will start on Aug 29.
At the National Day Rally on Sunday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emphasised again that every school is a good school, but he acknowledged that parents and pupils still have strong preferences for certain schools.
