During Mother Tongue lessons in Singapore, students attend classes based on their respective languages. Chinese Singaporean students participate in Chinese classes, Malay Singaporean students join Malay classes, and Indian Singaporean students attend Tamil classes. Students who are not enrolled in these language classes have the option to either go to the library or remain in their own classroom, essentially enjoying free time while others are engaged in their mother tongue lessons.

It’s interesting to see how Singapore emphasizes the importance of mother tongue education. This approach not only helps preserve cultural heritage but also allows students to connect with their roots. It’s great that students have dedicated time to learn their respective languages, as it promotes bilingualism and fosters understanding among the different ethnic groups in Singapore.
However, I wonder if there are opportunities for the students who are not enrolled in any of the mother tongue classes to explore other languages or cultures during this time. It could be beneficial for them to learn more about the diversity around them, fostering a greater sense of community and understanding. Overall, it sounds like a well-thought-out system that values cultural identity!
