> Changes to Primary 1 registration will begin with next year’s exercise, with no transition period. Education Minister Desmond Lee acknowledged in parliament that some families may have made housing plans under the current system, but said earlier implementation would let more families benefit from broader access to schools. From next year, 12 schools will divide Phase 2C places into tracks for children living within 2km and those living farther away.
