Ng Eng Hen, Second Minister for Education and Minister
for Manpower, speaking at the award presentation. |

In his speech, Guest-of-Honour Dr Ng Eng Hen, Second Minister
for Education and Minister for Manpower, stated that schools
should “strive to create lifetime learners and readers in their
students – those who learn and read for personal fulfilment,
and who will continue to read and educate themselves throughout
their lives. And not just school time learners and readers –
those who only learn and read within their prescribed texts
and just for the purpose of doing well academically.”
He was impressed that age was not a barrier to passionate teaching,
given that recipients’ teaching experiences ranged from less
than two years to more than 30 years. Dr Ng said, “I am heartened
that… older, more experienced teachers are not resting on their
laurels but (are) continually improving their teaching strategies
and still have the dedication to do the best by their students.”
Each award recipient received a trophy and cash prize of $500.
They are also slated to attend an educational study tour to
China during the November school holidays to learn about the
country’s education system and teaching techniques.
Two teachers were presented with the National Outstanding Chinese
Language Lesson Plan Awards. Sponsored by the Lee Foundation,
the Awards are organised by Lianhe Zaobao and co-organised by
Singapore Chinese Middle School Teachers’ Association and Singapore
Chinese Teachers’ Union. (Click here to see full list of recipients.)
