there might be some changes in quotas on the students to be accepted in different regions from time-to-time. due to quota imposed, BU sees increasing numbers of students from less developed regions more developed regions also made up a larger component in student intake generally, students from the native place ie Beijing, HeBei, Tianjin etc traditionally made up a larger component in student intake When interpreting the data over the timeline, here are the comments for BU: On the other hand, Suzhou University (SU) traditionally admits students from the province and does not institute any intervention.Ĥ.

Enrollment process is heavily intervened by policies of the day. Beijing University (BU) does allocate quotas in students admission across different regions. In interpreting the data, we will need to take into account of the differences in the enrollment processes for the two universities. This takes into account of migration and the environment the students are growing up in.ģ. Home addresses are used in this study, instead of JiGuan (which I translate to Dialect Group). Not to mention about whether the elite schools, normally from a more developed regions, are able or willing to support and integrate students from the less developed regions.Ģ. On the other hand, students from a less-developed region have to face more challenges (in terms economic, educational as well as personal) compared to students from a more developed region. Traditionally, students from a better developed place are able to obtain better tertiary education, and get better job and career options. This highlights substantial disparity in the developments between the Eastern and Western regions. Disparity in GDP could vary substantially - from RMB 39k in Shanghai to RMB 3.7k in GuiZhou. Geographical distribution was chosen as a examining factor in this paper because of historical observations that the geographical locations of the country affects the economic development, cultural and social evolution as well as the educational development and standards of the counties. Here is my summary under Chapter 2 - Topic 1 Geographical Distribution.ġ. I am doing the course part-time and probably my reading speed is slower. My grand-father refused to talk about what happened then before he passed away. But the connection was destroyed since cultural revolution. My great-father came from Fujian Quanzhou. Able to converse Hokkien (Min-Nan'), Teochew ('Chao-zhou') - from my parents, as well as Cantonese - from watching TVB series. Personally, I am able to speak English and Mandarin. Most of us learn two languages in school. But please note that there are some of us with differing fluency in Hokkien (mainly Min-Nan style), Cantonese, Hainanese, Hindi etc, apart of different fluency in our official languages. We are a multi-racial society, As such, our 4 official languages are English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. Education was standardised only since 1970s I assume, after Independence. We have English, Chinese, Malay or Indian schools with differing medium of instruction and standards. In the early days of Singapore, education is not universal. Their fathers are chinese (i suppose from Zheng He's era) and historically inter-marrying local Malay women. We have local-born Chinese called BaBa or Nonya here, and they mainly migrated from Malacca. We have some Arab here (in fact, we have a street called Arab street where you could try some Arab smoking'. They could be English,Americans, Jewish, Portuguese etc with Chinese, Malay or Indian blood. We have Singh and the North Indians from various regions making up a small proportion.ĭue to inter-marriages, we have Europeans or Eurasians. Indians does not just refer to South Indians from Tamil. Under 'Malays' classification, we have Sumatrans, Javanese people from Indonesian islands included. For example, we have Chinese with Fujian, ChaoZhou, GuangDong, Hainan, KeJia, Fuzhou etc ancestry. But please note that even within in major race, we have different dialect groups. We have 4 major classifications on race, ie Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians. We are more diverse than, for example, Hong Kong. For such a small little island, we do not have a homogeneous population structure like Japan. Singapore was a British colony and has been an open trading port.

I note your comments about some Singaporean Chinese not able to converse in Mandarin.
