Singapore under the ruling People's Action Party government has
been categorized as a developmental state which has utilized
education as an instrument of its economic policies and
nation-building agenda. However, contrary to accepted assumptions,
the use of education by the state to promote economic growth did
not begin with the coming to power of the People's Action Party in
1959. In Singapore, the colonial state had been using education to
meet the demands of its colonial economy well before the rise of
the post-independence developmental state. Education,
Industrialization and the End of Empire in Singapore examines how
the state's use of education as an instrument of economic policy
had its origins in the colonial economy and intensified during the
process of decolonization. By covering this process the history of
vocational and technical education and its relationship with the
economy is traced from the colonial era through to decolonization
and into the early postcolonial period.
