Abstract

This paper argues that Confucianism was one of the many influencing factors of cultural exchange between Asian countries in the past. As the most appropriate stage of education to shape human values and modes of thought, primary education should be the focus of research. This article focuses on three Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. This article not only compares the setting of the primary school curriculum and the basic spread of Confucianism in these three countries but also compares it with the changes brought about by the original Confucianism in China. The extent to which Confucian culture has influenced primary education in Southeast Asian countries is respectively outlined through several comparisons.
