In Australia, China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe, including Russia, Ukraine and Iceland, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and parts of Africa, values education is either a mandated part of the curriculum, with teachers in training being required to prepare for teaching it, or is at least a focused part of policy development. Typically, values education has been conceived of as a bolted-on component of the curriculum. This article presents a novel conception of values education, in which such content is not conceptualized as a subject or unit within the curriculum but rather in terms of a new pedagogy that affects the entire curriculum and the way it is taught. In this guise, values education has a greater capacity to produce the type of citizenry that can deal effectively with the major global issues of our day. Such a conception of values education arose from the authors' research experiences with the Australian government's recent values education initiatives, which are described in the article; these experiences were instrumental to the authors in the development of their novel conception of values education.
