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 Policy
Some 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.

Exemption from MTLStudents are given exemption from offering MTL
only under exceptional circumstances. There are two broad categories of students who may be given exemption:
1.those who join or re-join the school system mid-stream without prior learning of the MTL, and
2.those with certified medical condition that would adversely affect their ability to cope with MTL.

Different starting points
• Students enter school with varied language backgrounds and abilities.
• Some already have good working knowledge of their MTL; others are less familiar with the sounds, patterns and rules; and yet others have grown up learning two languages.
• These different groups have different needs when it comes to learning MTL.
![Page 9: Mother Tongue Language Primary 1 - Ministry of Education](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022221/6214f24b395dc561416d8e7d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
P1 MTL classes
• Currently randomly assigned
• Teachers get to know the students’ starting point in MTL, as well as their learning abilities in the language.
