From 2017, educators from polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education will be included in the President’s Award for Teachers.
Endorsing the latest policy, Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung said that he had met many polytechnic and ITE educators who have gone the extra mile in their duties.
More than 70 teachers have received the award since its introduction. The awards recognize teachers who are able to inspire students and who serve as outstanding role models.
Applications for the award open next January. It is the highest accolade for teaching excellence in Singapore.
