"However, when a school is oversubscribed, a randomisation method will be used to ensure fairness to all," she added.
Parents who have moved house recently or are planning to move house in the near future must inform the Primary One Admission Unit so that arrangements can be made to allocate a place to their children in their new home school net.
Results of the central allocation will be released in early June.
Meanwhile, parents and members of the public are welcome to make use of the department's automatic telephone enquiry service 2891 0088 for the latest information on the primary one central allocation system.

Special stamps on 1996 Olympic Games to be issued
The Postmaster General, Mr Robert Footman, today (Monday) announced that a set of special stamps on the theme of "1996 Olympic Games" will be issued on March 20.
There will be four denominations depicting four popular sports in Hong Kong - gymnastics ($1.2), diving ($2.1), athletics ($2.6) and basketball ($5).
Souvenir sheet incorporating the four stamps will also be issued but the colour used for the Royal Cypher, the Olympic rings and the inscription "Hong Kong" will be different. The stamps were designed by Mr Bon Kwan and printed by Ashton-Potter (USA) Ltd.
A special feature of the stamps is that they will be tagged with a phosphorescent ink which will facilitate the automatic process of mail facing and segregation by Culler Facer Canceller machines to be introduced by the Post Office shortly.
The stamps will be displayed for the advance information of the public at the General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin Central post offices as from Wednesday (March 6).
