'Returning children' refers to children who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents who are living and studying overseas and are currently not attending local schools.
Returning Singaporean students who wish to study in Singapore must go through the MOE (Ministry of Education) School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans – Secondary (SPERS-Sec) (for admission into Year 1-3) or School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans (SPERS-JC/MI) (for admission into Year 5).
This is applicable for all government, government-aided and independent schools in Singapore, which includes RI.
