Exemption from Mother Tongue
-
Hi Luvmum,
The exemption application process is quite lengthy. My son is in Primary 5 and faces learning challenge. I am currently applying to MOE for MT exemption through the school and was told it can take up to 3 months for approval. And yes, the school’s chinese teacher will need to write a report and it has to be submitted with your application form and psychologist report for MOE’s review. -
Thank you to mummies for your response n sharing.
Looks like I need to let him try n see what his MT teacher
Says then.
Many thanks. -

Hi,
I have a parent asking me the same question too…how does it affect the PSLE score if the child is taking only 3 subjects? How’s it calculated? Thanks in advance.

MOE doesn't make public how the score is calculated. However, if MT is the child's weakest subject, the T-score based on the 3 remaining subjects won't be lower than for 4 subjects.Hi,

What documents you need for mother tongue exemption? From the doctor?

You will need a report from an educational psychologist describing the diagnosis of learning disability, with a recommendation to exempt from MT. A letter from a GP will not be sufficient. -
The school has an application form to be completed. Medical report has to be provided and submitted through the school. Teacher’s report is required too.

Can I check if you receive a letter from moe or the school after the exemption? I was told my son is exempted but no letter was given.
