When this book crossed my path, I opted to grab it. The education system in China and Singapore is not something that I would naturally dive into.
Having spent time in Dongguan for work, I had a reference point for some of the items in the book. However, my reference point is very recent history and not the level that this book covers.
I like how the author began by sharing the cultural history. I was fascinated by the early migration policies. While I knew that Singapore had been a colony, I was still amazed to learn that most of the early schools were taught mainly in English.
If you are interested in this topic, then this book will be a valuable read.
