Limitations
While the Maathi Yosi report is based on the data gathered through qualitative
and quantitative methods, there are several limitations which must be noted. The
respondents of our ground survey largely comprised of students. Out of 101
responses, 82 were shared by students. This suggests more research has to be
done to identify the needs of working adults aged above 25.
The participants from the Maathi Yosi seminar mostly represented tertiary
institutions. Few participants representing polytechnics, Institute of Technical
Education and junior colleges were present. A lack of representation of
participants from different age groups and educational background could have
been a limiting factor. There was a lack of diverse views as a result. To gather
different viewpoints, an alternative platform could be explored to solicit feedback
from individuals representing different institutions.
The views shared may not necessarily be consistent or representative of the views
shared by the Tamil youth in Singapore. Hence, frequent discussions could be
held over a long time period to improve the reliability of our findings.
