The Ministry of Education (MOE) has revealed that the majority of primary schools will begin reducing their Primary 1 (P1) intake as student cohorts continue to shrink. This decision aims to mitigate the need for school mergers and relocations, with changes set to take effect from 2027.
As the Primary 1 registration exercise kicks off on June 30, parents are encouraged to prepare for the anticipated adjustments in school capacities. The MOE’s proactive measures reflect a broader trend in student demographics, prompting schools to adapt to the evolving educational landscape.
