(i) To understand the overall performance and track the progress of NCS Students in learning the Chinese language under the enhanced support measures;
(ii) To identify trends/gaps and areas of strengths and weaknesses of NCS Students in learning Chinese in general;
(iii) To raise recommendations for relevant key stakeholders of the public school sector and policy implications at the system level; and
(iv) To identify effective school practices in enhancing NCS Students' learning effectiveness in learning Chinese and the contributing factors thereof for reference of other schools.
