Abstract
After Singapore’s independence in 1965, the country successfully transformed itself from a developing country to a knowledge-based economy. Singapore has since achieved outstanding economic and academic performances in the following five decades. This paper analyses the relationship between education and economic development in Singapore. It will also look at the role of education from 1965 (Independence) to 1989, and then 1990 onward as it aims to analyse how Singapore’s developmental state used education to promote economic development as the country develops.
