Upon reading this article, I have got the basic knowledge on the current situation of the academic sector in Singapore. Some citizens are keen on reducing the weightage for the Mother Tongue Language but I do not support this idea. From the start, Mother Tongue has been a key part of a students academic journey. The subject not only allows a student to communicate well but also identify his or her roots of origin. The subject would also provide the students with a sense of identity and belonging.
However the reason behind why many Singaporeans want the Mother Tongue weighting to be reduced is not baseless either. Reducing the subject's weighting would also help to reduce the tension and stress on students. It would give them more time to concentrate on the other subjects.
In conclusion, I personally feel that Mother Tongue has been an important part of the academic scene in Singapore and should carry on to be an important part as the subject holds a lot of importance. In the future, the students may need to communicate with people of their own origins for work or for relations and thus the subject is of great importance.
