国民教育 National Education
Discover how National Education shapes students into active, responsible citizens rooted in Singapore's values and shared identity.
National Education (NE) is part of a holistic education. It aims to develop national cohesion, cultivate the instinct for survival as a nation and boost students' confidence in our nation's future. It also emphasises on cultivating a sense of belonging and emotional rootedness to Singapore.
The National Education messages and accompanying values are:

We treasure our heritage and take pride in shaping our own unique way of life.We must preserve racial and religious harmony.
We value our diversity and are determined to stay a united people.We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility.
We provide opportunities for all, according to their ability and effort.No one owes Singapore a living.
We find our own way to survive and prosper, turning challenge into opportunity.We must ourselves defend Singapore.
We are proud to defend Singapore ourselves, no one else is responsible for our security and well-being.**We have confidence in our future.**United, determined and well-prepared, we have what it takes to build a bright future for ourselves, and to progress together as one nation.
OUR CURRICULUM
Our NCHS-NE programme aims to prepare our NCzens for an increasingly complex world and develop them into concerned citizens who will actively contribute to Singapore by anchoring them with sound values and a shared Singapore Spirit. The NCHS-NE curriculum will be a 4 year journey for all NCzens and upon completion, our students should have the following:
A sense of belonging: To develop a deeper understanding of who we are, and a shared understanding of the values that are important to us as a nation.
A sense of reality: To be aware of the contemporary realities — including Singapore’s constraints and vulnerabilities — which affect us as a nation amidst the backdrop of a less predictable world.
A sense of hope: To have confidence and optimism in Singapore’s future and the resilience to face the challenges ahead.
The will to act: To show willingness to play a role in the future of Singapore
