Primary 1 registration is here again. As I have a 6yo kid, I'm going to be busy reading up the info at
Ministry of Education, Singapore: Education System: Primary Education which has lots of resources. Of particular interest to me is the page on changes in the primary education - which is so different from my time!
To someone who's unfamiliar with the "phases" thing, get a feel of all the info overload that parents have to go through nowadays:
