ABSTRACT
The United Kingdom is not the only place where there is a growing concern about what role values education in the context of rapid societal change should have. The subject has also been high on education agendas in many countries in different parts of the world. One region of the world where quite strenuous efforts have been made to make values education more relevant to the school curriculum has been in Asia, and especially in North and South-East Asia (Thomas, 1997c).
