Can my child learn a Mother Tongue Language (MTL) that is not our own?

Bilingual education is a cornerstone of our education system. In particular, learning of MTL can help to reinforce our values, roots and identity, by giving us direct access to our cultural heritage.

While it is not a requirement at the pre-school level, we encourage children to take their respective MTLs at the centres where available to support his or her transition to formal schooling.

 

Parents may refer to the Preschool Search service on the LifeSG mobile app and website from 1 Apr 2024 and perform an advanced search using the “filter function” to find childcare centres which offer the respective MTLs.
