| Teachers
come from the ranks of young graduates and mid-career
professionals. |

All new National Institute of Education (NIE) trainees will
have the opportunity to take part in experience-based project
work. This is an initiative under the Group Endeavours in Service
Learning (GESL) for foundation training programmes.
Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Minister for Education, announced
this important development during the NIE Teachers' Investiture
Ceremony on 15 January 2005.
He said that the programme "will equip trainee teachers
with the necessary background and experience to take on subsequent
leadership roles in their schools’ community involvement projects
and academic work projects. More importantly, apart from acquiring
and developing project management skills, these teachers will
bring back with them greater adaptability and compassion."
About 250 Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) recipients
were warmly welcomed into the teaching profession at the ceremony.
Lieutenant General Lim Chuan Poh, Permanent Secretary, MOE and
Chairman, NIE Council presented graduands with their diplomas.
