National Education Programmes

​Singapore History Consultants has been conducting National Education (NE) Programmes since 2001.

Over the years, we have designed more than a hundred original  and unique NE Programmes covering a wide range of topics including the six pillars of Total Defence (Military, Civil, Economic, Social, Psychological and Digital), World War II History, Globalisation, as well as Race and Religion. 

Our dedicated facilitators are experienced storytellers, who specialise in weaving key learning points into their stories, jokes and interactions with participants.
