when the new scheme commences next Thursday.

"Children between the ages of 12 and 17 years who have not yet

Representatives from the Registration of Persons Department are

visiting schools to explain the new scheme and to distribute application

forms to 11-year-old children.

The application forms should be completed by the children's

parents or guardians.

To facilitate registrations, parents or guardians are advised to
