Q1a. Using school information from data.gov.sg, prepare a thematic map showing the distribution of public education institution by school types such as primary, secondary, etc.

The distribution of schools across Singapore are categorised into the different types of schools and shown using pictorial symbols. It gives a clear picture of the number of schools in each town. From the map, we can see that the primary and secondary schools are generally distributed evenly across these towns. However, the upper education schools are lacking in the west side and concentrated in the south side of Singapore. It is possible to expect more upper education schools to be built in the west side with the development of Tengah area in the near future
Q1b. Using road GIS data of LTA, prepare a thematic map showing the hierarchy of road network system of Singapore such as expressway, major road, minor road, etc.
