Should Chinese students in Singapore be allowed to study their dialects in school? For example Indian students in Singapore can choose between studying Hindi, Urdu, Gujurati or Tamil.

I would think it will be tougher since there is no formal structure (or at least that is what I thought) to dialect and there are quite a number of different dialect groups in Singapore. It may be difficult getting teachers to staff the school and come up with a formal curriculum for each group. Though I could see the benefits of having that option to keep our heritage "alive" given that it is slowly "disappearing" with the aging population. Still, I think it should be explored as a third language option (if it were to be implemented) and not as the mother tongue. Just my two cents.
