Today, Nexus and its partners bring National Education to a variety of audiences.

Ministry of Defence
National Education courses and seminars are conducted for personnel in the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as well as students and teachers to strengthen commitment to the defence of Singapore, instill confidence in the SAF's capabilities and inculcate a better understanding of the security, economic and social challenges facing Singapore.
Ministry of Education
National Education has been incorporated into the formal curriculum of primary schools, secondary schools, junior colleges and institutes of higher learning. Informal National Education activities are also carried out at all levels. There are also dialogue sessions with senior civil servants for junior colleges, centralised institutes and polytechnics on key National Education-related topics. Also, National Education is incorporated in the formal and informal curriculum of trainee teachers in the National Institute of Education.
Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts / National Heritage Board
National Education is promoted through the development and dissemination of national songs, shared perspective papers and other resources. In addition, National Heritage Board organises various heritage events and activities throughout the year that help to promote National Education messages.
People's Association
National Education is brought to the grassroots leaders through the Singapore Insights tour programme and dialogue sessions with the Prime Minister and ministers on topical issues. Residents and grassroots members are exposed to National Education via community events pegged to Racial Harmony Day and Total Defence Day. In addition, the People's Association also organises the National Education Experience tour programme for prospective new citizens.
Civil Service College
National Education seminars are conducted for civil servants on a monthly basis to develop a sense of identity, pride and self-respect as Singaporeans and develop confidence in Singapore's future, to strengthen the sense of rootedness and emotional attachment to the nation, to understand the constraints and vulnerabilities of Singapore so as to develop the instincts for national survival and to understand the principles that the government upholds in the formulation of policies.
