The Thesis includes 8 chapters 26 sections and with a volume of about 200 thousand words altogether. The major purposes of this study are three-folded: (1) To realize the specialities of different developmental stages of Chinese education since the British Re-occupation, (2) To find out the courses of wane and wax which influence Chinese education for the 41 years past, and (3) To identify the responsibilities of nation building and future developing for which Chinese education should take up. To attain to the said purposes, the method as Historical Approach is adopted to carry out this research. The main findings of this study are as follows: (1) The various developmental stages of Chinese education in Singapore have their different specialities uniquely. (2) The courses of wane and wax which influence Singapore, Chinese education greatly are political policies, social psycnological patterns, and balance of quality and quantity in Chinese education itself also. (3) The responsibilities of nation building and future developing for which Chinese education should take up are to mobilize the social change, to accomplish the social mobility, to create the national culture, and to develop manpower resources. Based on the findings above-mentioned, we give 3 suggestions: 1. To establish a ＂Chinese as chief and English as vice＂ education policy. 2. To model a ＂countryman＂ psychological pattern in order strengthen Chinese solidarity towards Singapore as their native land. 3. To promote Chinese education though balancing its quality and quantity reasonably.
