Per my understanding, TJC being an IP school will require all students to attend higher chinese.

[sushigal]

I have just checked NJC, eventhough they are IP school they do have classes doing normal Chinese.

15. My child did not take Higher Mother Tongue in primary school, must he/she take Higher Mother Tongue in NJC?

All students in JH1 and JH2 take Higher Mother Tongue (Chinese, Malay, Tamil). Lessons are held in College. The exceptions are Non-Tamil Indian Languages and Foreign Language as Mother Tongue. Students must register on their own with external language centres. Information can be obtained from MOE.

There is no requirement that students in IP schools must do HCL. It's up to the individual schools to set their own requirements.

As the intake in TJC is small, so far based on understanding only HCL is offered to their year1.
