Transcript of Mother Tongue Language Primary 1 - Ministry of Education Partners...Mother Tongue Language Policy...

  • Mother Tongue Language

    Primary 1

  • Mother Tongue Language Policy

    Our Mother Tongue Language (MTL) policy

    requires all students who are

    Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent

    Residents to study their respective official MTL: Chinese, Malay and Tamil. A non-Tamil

    Indian may choose to offer as his/her MTL: (a)

    Tamil, or (b) a non-Tamil Indian Language such

    as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu.

  • Mother Tongue Language Policy

    MTL is assigned based on race of

    students. Students who have opted for a non MTL as MT will need to make

    applications through the school and will be

    considered on a case-by-case basis.

    .

  • Mother Tongue Language PolicyNonetheless, there is flexibility in the

    application of this policy for students who

    have been away from Singapore’s school

    system for some years and who have not kept

    up with the study of their MTL. Students may

    apply for exemption from studying

    their official MTL or to study a non-

    official language such as French,

    German or Japanese in lieu of MTL. Applications should be made through the

    school and will be considered on a case-by-

    case basis.
