Admission Arrangements for Nursery (K1) Classes in Kindergartens for the 2026/27 School Year

Note:
1. If parents are unable to allow the KG in which their child has been admitted to scan the QR code on the e-RC/AP during the Centralised Registration Dates, the KG concerned may not be able to complete registration for their child.  Hence, parents are required to submit application to EDB within the designated period.

2. If a child is admitted after the Centralised Registration Dates, his/her parent is still required to submit the e-RC/AP for registration.  If the parent intends to change school for his/her child after registration with a KG, he/she is required to complete the de-registration with the KG with which he/she has registered by scanning the QR code on the e-RC/AP.  Upon de-registration, the KG concerned will no longer reserve the place for the child.  Normally, the registration fee paid to the KG with which the parent has registered will not be refunded.

 4. Application for Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission 

Details will be announced in September 2025.
