The book explores the evolution of education in Singapore, tracing its role from the colonial era to the post-independence developmental state. It highlights how the colonial government initially utilized education to support its economic needs, a practice that continued and intensified during decolonization. By examining the intersection of education, industrialization, and the end of empire, the narrative reveals the foundational impact of these policies on Singapore's economic development and nation-building efforts.
