Hi, the following is from PA to all GROs. We were told to look into the cases of members who are affected by the recent electoral boundary changes. So there is hope for those affected. Cheers!


============================================

Dear General Managers and Constituency Directors

1. The registration of children for admission to primary one classes in 2012 under the Ministry of Education (MOE) Primary One Registration Priority Scheme for Grassroots Leaders (GRLs)/District Councillors (DCs) will commence in May/June 2011. Only serving members of the CCC, CCMC, RC and NC, and DCs of the CDCs, who have at least one year of continuous service immediately prior to their application (i.e. those who were appointed on or before 30 June 2010) are eligible to apply.

2. CCC, CCMC, RC and NC members can register their children at schools situated within the GRC/SMC which they are serving and/or residing, while CDC DCs can register their children at schools situated within the GRC/SMC which they reside and at schools situated within the GRC/SMC of the Adviser who had recommended them for appointment into the CDC.

3. With the recent announcement of the new electoral boundaries, some Grassroots Advisers and GRLs who are eligible for the Scheme have raised concerns about the impact this would have on the MOE Primary One Registration Priority Scheme. MOE has also asked PA for a gauge on the number of GRLs/DCs who might be affected.

4. In order for PA and MOE to ascertain the number of GRLs/DCs who might be affected, we would appreciate it if you could quickly check with your eligible and interested GRLs (CCC, CCMC, RC and NC) and CDC DCs who have one year of continuous service, whether their residing and/or serving GRC/SMC are affected by the boundary change.

Dear Tim Tim

I have PM you. Hope and appreciate your reply. TIA

Hi Kiddoflower, I am not familiar with Henry Park PS but I just want to give you an advice. Besides knowing which RC/NC to join, you must also aware that it must be where you reside. If you serve in a RC and you do not reside in that zone, you are considered AM and won't enjoy the P2B privilege.

To become EM, in short, you need to be active and contribute. To become EM may also depends on other factors like whether the RC has meet its quota on EM and the Chairman/CM supporting the RC. You need to be EM for 1 yr of continuous service before you're eligible for the P2B. Do also note the recent boundary changes that may affect the GRO that you want to serve. Pls also reads past postings. Many of these info have been elaborated.
