Actually, I think I implied more than what I meant to say. While they are now pushing the use of Mandarin as a language of instruction (and pushing it further down the age group), I'm not so sure they are starting at grade one (I'm now part of the diaspora myself, but this is in the Cantonese news once in a while). That was just me wondering to myself the absurdity of being taught in a language that I would've barely heard of at that point in life.
