I’m still trying to reconcile how a school like Temasek can be so much more over subscribed compared to Tao Nan. Wondering if the school’s level of transparency is a key factor - meaning Tao Nan shared the breakdown of number of SCs<1km, bet 1-2km etc. and hence many parents went elsewhere when they knew they had no chance. Temasek on the other hand has refused to share the breakdown from day 1. Even after the balloting list from MOE has been published (I know cos I called).


Any parent who tried at Tao Nan who can verify the above?

Taonan didn't share the breakdown either. It was understood that all applicants are <1km. Probably 1-2 sotongs >1km. You can see from their past years breakdown in their school website, and you'll get what I mean.

walkaround:

anyone curious why Taonan 2c this year so good odds?

almost the least oversubscribed good school. So different from the old impression. the odds for 2c is even better than 2b!!

Ngee Ann Primary in recent years had won a lot of accolades, hence probably most parents be won over by their good results.
