This paper discusses the changing role of science education in Singapore vis-a-vis the country's economic development. Unhindered by traditions or cultures adverse to the learning and application of science, science education is expected to continue to enjoy the support it has received in the past. Improvements in science education will continue to be linked to the country's economy.
