In Singapore, the Singapore government has launched a bilingual education policy with an ever increasing emphasis on the use of English. SSE is officially learned at schools, and it is not differences from a Standard English such as British or American English. On the other hand, SCE or Singapore Colloquial English is learned and used in vernacular situations.
In Philippines, English-speaking population and education program declared that the vernacular be the medium of instruction for all of levels. English was used as the medium in elementary and high school.
In Hong Kong, more affluent people sent their children overseas for education; poorer children were given opportunities for bilingual education.
