Abstract
In the sections that follow, we set out the context for values education in Singapore. Next, we identify three important recurring themes in the Social Studies curriculum, namely social cohesion and consensus, meritocracy and economic pragmatism. We suggest that the values promoted by the state are essentially instrumental in nature and are governed by the ideology of national survival.
