Using Singapore as a case study, this working paper argues that although education for human capital development and education for reconciliation have seemingly contradicting goals, they are interdependent in the processes and outcomes. This examination is a nexus of three theoretical considerations – the nation-state, human capital development, and reconciliation. It investigates how education has been engaged at different stages of Singapore’s development, from pre- to post- independence. This uncovers the dimensions that needed reconciliation over time and how education policies addressed them. Nevertheless, even though this working paper provides a baseline understanding, more data and structured analysis are necessary to prove the argument scientifically. Thus, Topic Modeling as a policy discourse analysis method is proposed as the next step.
