[S26E50 Property101] P1 Registration 2027 Changes

Explore the major updates to Singapore's Primary 1 registration system for 2027, focusing on how new policies impact housing selection and school access. This episode details the increase of Phase 2C reserved places from 40 to 60, widening access for children without prior school links. We break down the new two-track scheme introduced for 12 specific schools in areas with low public housing density, such as Bukit Timah and Marine Parade. Learn how this system splits Phase 2C places equally between residents living within 2km and those living farther away, eliminating distance priority within each track to encourage greater socio-economic diversity. We also analyze the quantitative shift in admission logic, showing how fewer places in Phase 2A now impact spillover allocations to 2B and 2C. Understanding these regulatory changes is crucial for parents planning school proximity for their children, as it directly influences the appeal of certain neighborhoods for homebuyers and renters seeking better access to popular schools.
