TEACHERS and community groups yesterday welcomed the Government's assurance that mother tongue languages remain crucial in Singapore's education system. Parents, however, had mixed views.

Some were disappointed that the weightage of the languages in primary school would not be reduced in a review of how they are taught and assessed.

Manager H.P. Tang, 40, a mother of a nine-year-old son who speaks English at home, said: 'I am confused by the about-turn because the Education Minister was quoted quite clearly (in earlier media reports).'

She was referring to the interview Dr Ng Eng Hen gave last month, which sparked concern that the weighting of such languages would be cut.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Dr Ng said teaching would be more differentiated to meet students' varied aptitudes.

They said students' ability to use the language in real life, rather than just how well they do in exams, will matter more.
