Undergraduate Bachelor’s Thesis (2019)
Time to Rethink? SAP Schools and Chineseness: The Millennial Experience

An Honours Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Degree of Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours)

For my final year thesis, I investigated the value and effects of Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school education through the perspective of the millennial Singaporeans (born in early 1980s-late 1990s). The thesis focused on issues of ethnic identity, multiculturalism, and social inequality. Should you be interested in reading my thesis or discussing about the topic, please feel free to reach me at gien.siyun@gmail.com.
