This paper proposes to include human education, specifically the education on self-knowledge, in the school curriculum as a catalyst to speed up the development of gifts and talents and hence the realisation of human potential. The entire series of self-knowledge lessons include knowledge of the gifted pupil’s character composition, brain functioning preferences and intellectual attributes, moral and volitional attributes, social abilities, and other personal and inter- personal skills.

I am happy to join you here at Tao Nan School for the Graduation Ceremony of the pioneer batch of students of the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan Affiliated Schools Bi-Cultural Chinese Elective Programme (or BiCEP). 2. For over four decades, our bilingual policy has served us well and remained a cornerstone in our education system. It was a far-sighted policy even though when it was introduced it meant disruption for various groups in the short-term. But the benefits for Singapore students today are self-evident. It allowed them to ride the wave of globalisation as English became the lingua franca of the internet and connectivity. This is why each year, large contingents of Singapore students enter into top overseas Universities. Proficiency in English has also enabled our students to perform well in international rankings in Maths, Science and reading literacy. 3. Requiring all students to study their mother tongue has provided a cultural ballast that helped them retain an Asian identity. In addition, it has helped position 1 Singapore as the Asian hub to connect growing regions of Asean, India and China to the rest of the World.

Only a handful of these were selected as elite schools for bilingual education under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) introduced in 1979 in independent Singapore. This paper examines the historical trajectories of these early schools from early association with Chinese nationalism to becoming multi-ethnic schools or simply defunct. It will focus on the case of the former Yeung Ching School in ‘Chinatown’ catering to the Cantonese community, to explore how the legacy of a Chinese school may be impacted by state formation and urban development since the 1950s, and also to point out a gap in current heritagisation pertaining to the role of education in shaping cultural identities.

  • PRESS RELEASE Ministry of Education
    PRESS RELEASE Ministry of Education 2 November 2007 Greater Integration for Pupils in the Gifted Education Programme 1. From 2008, all the nine primary Gifted Education Programme (GEP) centres will introduce initiatives to promote greater interaction between GEP and non-GEP pupils, allowing them to learn, work and play together on a daily basis. This will enable GEP pupils, who are currently pursuing the GEP curriculum in classes separate from their non-GEP peers, to maintain regular contact and develop closer bonds with their schoolmates through meaningful shared experiences. On average, it is expected that GEP and non-GEP pupils would spend between one third to half of their curriculum time together on a daily basis. 2. Among the nine centres, Nan Hua Primary School and Tao Nan School piloted two different models of integration for their Primary 4 (P4) classes this year. The positive experiences of the students have prompted both schools to continue with the programmes for 2008, as well as to extend them to the incoming P4 cohorts. A description of the two models is appended in Annex 1. 3. The other seven GEP centres will be introducing their own integration models. Some of them will implement integration only for their incoming P4 pupils, while others plan to form integrated classes at both P4 and P5 levels. A summary of the plans for each school can be found in Annex 2. KEY FEATURES OF INTEGRATION MODELS 4. While each of the nine GEP centres will work with MOE to develop its own distinctive model, all nine centres will be guided by the following principles in their integration programmes: a.

Journal of Asian Public Policy, 4(3), 331-341 DRAFT Functional Differentiation: A Critique of the Bilingual Policy in Singapore Charlene Tan & Pak Tee Ng Abstract This paper critically explores the ideology of the functional differentiation of languages that underpins the bilingual policy in Singapore. This ideology values English for its economic function and the indigenous languages for their role in cultural transmission. In the first part of the paper, we critique the ideology of functional differentiation by discussing two main challenges that arise from the bilingual policy in Singapore. In the second part of the paper, we explain how the ideology of functional differentiation is linked to the multicultural policy adopted by the government.
