National Institute of Education

The office also delivers in-service and leadership programmes to enhance the career pathways of serving teachers and educators.

The External Programmes Office was set up in October 2005 to act as an educational consultancy to meet the bespoke training requirements of local and international clients.

NIE established the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice in 2002 with funding from the Ministry of Education (MOE).

In January 2005, NIE established the Learning Sciences Lab which is now part of the Office of Educational Research.

The Lab aims to lead and transform pedagogy enabled by ICT in teaching and learning in Singapore schools.

From a research base, findings and good ideas are conceptualised and applied in learning processes so that these are effectively implemented in the schools.

NIE received endorsement of its five-year strategic plan by an MOE-appointed International Advisory Panel, comprising academics from overseas universities, in August 2007.
