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.
