Teachers
form the pillars of our education system and are crucial
as the driving force behind the Education Reforms. The
Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence, therefore,
is a great testament to the importance of the teaching
profession. Teachers are often the unsung heroes of
everyday life, whose dedication, commitment and professionalism
should be recognized. The Award provides us with the
opportunity to celebrate and honour our teachers.
I am very
glad to see that this Award has brought forth so many
nominations to remind all of us in the community of
the importance of teachers and quality education they
provide. I am even more pleased to see that 50 individual
and groups of teachers will be receiving Awards and
Certificates of Merit, made after a thorough and in-depth
search.
My congratulations
to all the winners. My sincere wish is that all the
awardees will continue to use their talents, their passion
and their commitment to pioneer changes under the Education
Reform. |
