User talk:Qkhuang1/Language Education in Singapore

Motivations for this page

Singapore has always had a reputation as a nation where a majority of her people are effectively bilingual. Many parents, especially those from the neighboring ASEAN countries, China and India, are sending their children to Singapore to pursue their education. It is thus interesting that Singapore is not at all mentioned in the Bilingual Education page. A further search on the Education in Singapore page reveals that the bilingual education policy is just a short section, without substantial information. The page Languages of Singapore presents also only a short section on bilingualism. More specifically, the abovementioned page is with regards to the entire language landscape of Singapore but not on the local education scene. Hence, this page was created out of the need to introduce and provide information on Singapore's language education to people who wants an overview of the general language landscape in Singapore.
