National Education
National Education is part of a holistic education. It aims to develop national cohesion, cultivate the instinct for survival as a nation and instil in our students, confidence in our nation's future. It also emphasises on cultivating a sense of belonging and emotional rootedness to Singapore. more
MOE has adopted a two-pronged approach in the cultivation of national instincts among pupils:
First, to develop an awareness of facts, circumstances and opportunities facing Singapore, so that they will be able to make decisions for their future with conviction and realism.
Second, to develop a sense of emotional belonging and commitment to the community and nation.
This approach is amply captured in the phrase "engaging hearts and minds".
