If you were Chinese, education amounted to free temple and clan association schools, all of which applied the traditional method of teaching Chinese classics by rote (Memorizing)—and thus left most pupils who completed their studies barely able to muster enough Chinese characters to read more than basic texts. If you were Malay, you might attend of the few government-aided free primary schools.

Source A: A view of a historian on early Singapore’s rise.

In its early years, Singapore was a port town surrounded by settlements of farmers and planters. With no trade restrictions and taxation on traders, by the end of the nineteenth century, it had been transformed into an urban city.

What does Source A tell you about the reasons for Singapore’s rapid rise after the British arrival? Explain your answer using details from the source.

# data[].attributes.body
Source A tells me that Singapore's rapid rise after the British arrival was because of its free port status. This is evident in 'there was no trade restrictions and taxations on traders, allowing Singapore to grow into urban city, rising as one of the top ports by the end of the 19th century'. This shows that the free taxation helped more traders come into Singapore to trade and eventually grow.

What can you learn about the education provided in Singapore during the 1819 to 1867? Explain your answer using details from the source.

# data[].attributes.body
I can learn that the education provided was (ATQ) weak and poor. (Point) This is evident in 'teaching Chinese classics by rote—and thus left most pupils who completed their studies barely able to muster enough Chinese characters to read more than basic texts.' (Evidence)This shows that the education provided was poor since most of them were not educated enough to work and survive. (Explanation + Link)
