The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore has announced that the Primary 1 (P1) intake for most primary schools will be reduced over the next few years, starting with the registration exercise on June 30, 2026. This decision comes in response to a significant decline in student cohort sizes expected in 2027 and beyond. The MOE aims to maintain a good geographical distribution of schools and minimize potential school mergers or relocations. Parents of children born between January 2, 2020, and January 1, 2021, are required to register their children during this exercise. The MOE has emphasized that the ongoing review of the P1 registration framework will not affect this year's registration process. To assist parents, the MOE provides information on school vacancies and encourages them to consider schools close to home for better transport options. Resources such as the SchoolFinder tool are available to help parents navigate their choices.
