Special Needs

September 25, 2008

Building a strong school team is critical to delivering quality education to every child. The Ministry of Education will consider recruiting only graduates as new teachers by 2015 and introduce programmes to enhance the professional development of the existing teaching force. MOE will also grow the pool of allied educators in schools to provide teachers with greater support in enhancing holistic learning. A new career scheme will also be introduced for the allied educators to recognise their contributions and improve their career progression. Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Education and 2nd Minister for Defence, announced these at the MOE Work Plan Seminar 2008 on 25 Sep 2008.
