There are always pros and cons to an issue. In this case, reducing Mother Tongue Weighting can help students who are struggling with their Mother Tongue Languages. As such, they can have more time to improve on other subjects which they are not as good in. Some parents will also be relieved as some parent feel that Mother Tongue subject is redundant so they would like their children to spend less time on Mother tongue. It also served as an alternative route for them to rely on English rather than on Mother Tongue. However, there are also disadvantages. Some people come from English speaking family, thus they tend to speak English more often and rarely have the chance to speak their native language. Thus it will not benefit them from knowing more about their own ‘roots’. Mother tongue is a language which people speaks and passed down culture and customs of different religion. Different religion has their beliefs. Therefore, without having the basic foundation, how could one tell others about their own culture and customs when asked by a foreigner? Isn’t that embarrassing? Also, it will somehow makes the student think that since the weighting of Mother Tongue has decreased, they might not be bothered much with that subject and might not put in their 100% effort. Students might also lose interest in studying Mother Tongue and slowly, Mother Tongue will cease to exist since most of the people are using English as a language for communication as it is an international language. So what will the next generation become? Thus in conclusion, in my opinion, I disagree with the splitting weighting of Mother Tongue. -Tricia
