Published by Interstate Publishing company in Singapore, this set of Chinese textbooks were tailored specially for English medium school students in Singapore. Chinese textbooks for English schools were published separately and had a curriculum that was simpler than that of Chinese-medium schools.Enrollment in Chinese-medium schools fell drastically in the post-independence period as more and more Chinese parents decided to send their children to English school due to better job prospects.
