The National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore, is Singapore’s national teacher education institute and we are proud to be an integral part of the nation’s education service.
NIE’s programmes offer a holistic education to student-teachers, emphasising values and character development. The Meranti Project gives student-teachers the opportunity to explore Character and Citizensh...ip Education (CCE) in depth and understand the role of an educator in making this topic come alive in diverse classrooms. Student-teachers also develop greater self-awareness and are empowered to guide their students more effectively on graduation.
NIE provides all levels of teacher education, from initial teacher education programmes to professional development programmes for in-service teachers and executive leadership programmes for Principals, Departmental Heads and other school leaders. NIE also administers postgraduate programmes that lead to the award of higher degrees in Arts, Education, Physical Education and Science, and offers part-time programmes for current primary and early childhood level teachers to obtain a Bachelor of Education degree.
The NIE Undergraduate programmes provide the academic and professional development for undergraduates to become effective beginning teachers in schools.The Undergraduate programmes are positioned to integrate the best of an academic degree with a good foundation in the field of education to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to excel in careers both in education and education-related fields and beyond.The Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) programmes aim to prepare university graduates to become primary, secondary school and junior college teachers. Student teachers in the PGDE (Primary) and PGDE (Secondary) tracks will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to teach two school subjects (or one in the case of single-subject specialists). Those in the PGDE (Junior College) track will be equipped to teach one subject at the JC level and one at the Secondary level; except for Economics and General Paper, the junior college teaching subject and its paired secondary level teaching subject are related.A new set of 16-month programmes for the various tracks (except for Physical Education) was inaugurated in December 2016, replacing the earlier 12-month versions.
There are a variety of initial teacher preparation programmes offered by NIE that will lead to Diplomas for candidates who will be teaching in primary or secondary schools. There are two versions of the Diploma in Education programmes: the General and the Specialisation tracks. The General track prepares student teachers to become generalist primary school teachers while the Specialisation track provides for specialisation in the teaching of the mother tongue languages and Physical Education at the primary or secondary school level, and Art, Music or Home Economics at the secondary level.
Candidates who are interested in special needs education can offer a Diploma in Special Education (DISE). DISE is a 1-Year full-time programme that prepares teachers/Allied Educators (Learning & Behavioural Support) to teach children and young adults with a range of disabilities including intellectual, physical, sensory, behavioural and psychological disabilities.
For candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in school counselling, they can apply to the Diploma in School Counselling through MOE. This Diploma provides entry-level training for counselling with children and adolescents. Upon completing this eight-month course, candidates are able to apply evidence-based approaches to help school students to develop their strengths to deal effectively with life issues.
The Singapore education system has been referred to as being one of the most successful in the world. This is, in part, due to the sound educational policies and impactful research in shaping the curriculum and management practices for schools. More importantly, much of this success is owed to the passion and perseverance of the 30,000 committed teachers and education professionals contributing in our system.
We are proud to be able to call this community our colleagues and to work alongside them to improve the quality of our education system. Thus, NIE is committed to our vision to be an institute of distinction and our mission to create a world-class institute renowned for its excellence in teacher education and educational research.NIE endeavours to pursue tie-ups with reputable international educational and commercial organisations with the objective of cultivating mutually beneficial partnerships. Through memoranda of understanding and agreements, the Institute"s network of collaborations spans the globe.
The Group Endeavours in Service Learning (GESL) programme also offers student-teachers a well-rounded education, through service-learning projects that help them build empathy and social skills by understanding community needs. The programme places student-teachers in the unique position of being able to explore the social issues that surround education so that they are better aware of the broader context and responsibilities that they will face as educators.The TLP is a series of 3 programmes that develops leaders on the Teaching Track (Senior Teachers, Lead Teachers and Master Teachers). It is aligned with the Teacher Growth Model (TGM), which aims to nurture teachers as ethical educators, competent professionals, collaborative learners, transformational leaders and community builders.Holistic education at NIE also gives student-teachers the opportunity to network, learn from senior teachers and engage in essential dialogue concerning their roles and responsibilities as educators of a future generation.
