【Abstract】 This paper examines the interactions between clan associations and education in Singapore, with a focus on the 1945-1954 period. By using rich statistics data from the clan associations/school publications, this paper establishes the patterns of their close interplay and the socio-economic background of the school teachers/pupils. It concludes that Chinese schools epitomized of the heterogeneous nature of Singapore Chinese community and constituted the fertile ground for socialization and identity formation, which underwent a localization process during the period under consideration.更多还原
