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.

The Spring Revolution in Myanmar, subsequent to the 2021 military coup, has resulted in altered political landscapes with new stakeholders, alongside instability, warfare, thousands of fatalities, and millions displaced internally. These tragedies primarily stem from the military's direct assaults on innocent populations, the apprehension of young individuals, the incineration and plundering of residences, and the aerial bombardment of residential dwellings. Victims of such calamities seek and advocate for transitional justice that delivers justice for the affected individuals. Consequently, I subjected the National Unity Consultative Council's transitional justice strategy to critical analysis and examination. I utilized primary data sources and existing literature on transitional justice theories in our analysis. This transitional justice policy offers multiple benefits and values pertaining to retributive and restorative justice; nonetheless, external challenges persist in the current political landscape. Collective forces among the revolutionary groups will be the answer to the successful implementation of this policy.
