#565 ft. Jo Tan - Taking Higher Mother Tongue Just Because You Can? & Are Micro-Weddings the Next Big Idea?
Manage episode 440268122 series 2998390
From 2026, MOE is making it easier for students to qualify for Higher Mother Tongue classes. But why is studying your language at a more difficult level so desirable in Singapore? We ask former Higher Chinese student and now theatre practitioner (in both English and Chinese!) Jo Tan. Also, we discuss the growing trend of micro-weddings, and whether they address the problems of organising traditional big weddings, or create problems of their own!!
