It doesn't matter how many greats you attach to the title - as long as you are not making your granny work in MacDonalds or something to earn her keep :shock: , you can always register her as a \"foster parent\" and use her address for the registration.

Hi Chief,


In addition, if my child is under full day child care but my parents are not working, can I consider for grandparents statutory declaration for phase 2C supplementary?

Just to highlight a point, if you are using the grandparents' address, u will be classified under 1-2 km even if the address is < 1km. So no point for those schools balloting < 1km...

Sorry... somehow missed this post. Phase 2C Supplementary is also subject to the distance rule, so, yes, you need to do the grandparent's declaration to benefit from the 1-2km ruling. Also, what luanee highlighted is important - grandparents' address is only useful if you are more than 2km from the school.

As long as your parents are not working and your child is staying with them, it will be ok for you to use their home addresses under the foster parent's ruling. When your child goes to Pri 1, he/she won't be under full day child care, anyway.

Hi,


As per stated, Foster parent should not be working. But if the child Grandmum is working part time only on Sat and Sunday, does it still qualify?

My child is under his Grandmum care from Monday to Friday. Sat and Sunday, his Grandmum need to help out at Grandpa stall. Please advise…

Thanks!

mummyfel,

is the grandma being paid salary, given leave benefit, welfare benefit, getting CPF etc for helping out in the grandpa's stall?
does getting your kid to help out in your stall qualify as employing child labour?
If no, i reckon that the grandma qualify as foster parent that is http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/#statutory-declaration (as stated in MOE website).

if your kid is genuinely under the grandma's care, you should not worry about the Ministry probing as you have a valid case and not using any loopholes in the system.
