Seven teachers were recently awarded the President’s Award for Teachers, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the teaching profession in Singapore.
They were presented their awards by President Halimah Yacob at a ceremony at the Istana also attended by Education Minister Ong Ye Kung and Second Education Minister Indranee Rajah.
The seven winners were selected by a panel chaired by Ms Denise Phua, head of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Education, out of a pool of 3,886 individuals nominated by school leaders, teachers, parents and students.
The award winners will join an overseas conference and study trip at the end of the year as part of their professional development.
