Abstract
This chapter explores the transmission of national values through social studies at the secondary school level in Singapore through an analysis of the curriculum. We examine how a set of prescribed national values is addressed and identifies the tensions and challenges that surface in the context of globalization. In doing so, we problematize the conception of values education in Singapore and identify its context.
