While the name of the school is not mentioned, parents are questioning the relevance and necessity of such personal information, especially for a pre-school application.
Many have expressed shock and disappointment at the school’s invasive inquiry, wondering how this information could possibly impact their child’s admission or education.
“What if it’s adopted?” asked one user, highlighting the lack of consideration for non-traditional family structures.
While another user sarcastically suggested additional options, including:
“4. Surrogate
5. Adopted
6. God gifted
7. Not sure
8. Prefer not to say
Anything else missing?”

A parent even shared a personal anecdote, revealing, “My friend told me she had to send her CV to the school authorities for her kid’s admission to pre-school. My mind was blown to bits.”
The post has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for greater sensitivity and respect for privacy in the schooling system.
