Ministry of Education
Appoints 65 Principals in 2007 |
|
|
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will be
appointing 65 Principals at the 10th Appointment Ceremony for Principals
to be held on 28 Dec 07. |
|
They comprise 36 newly-appointed Principals
and 29 serving Principals/HQ officers who will take up appointments in
other schools (please refer to Annex A for the details). |
|
This year, 23 of the 36 newly-appointed
Principals are aged 40 and below, which is the largest number of young
newly-appointed Principals in the last ten years. |
|
Among them, the youngest are Mdm Eugenia Tan
and Mrs Clara Lim-Tan at age 35. They will be heading Crescent Girls'
School and CHIJ (Kellock) respectively. |
|
Principals are key to shaping and
strengthening the traditions and ethos of our schools. They lead and
inspire teachers, and work with parents and the community to prepare our
young for the future. |
|
As we move towards a quality-focused
education system, Principals play a critical role in providing our
students with the opportunities to discover their strengths and follow
their passions. With schools driving the initiatives to achieve this, we
need Principals to steer our schools towards peaks of excellence. |
|
For the 36 newly appointed Principals, the
appointment is an important milestone in their professional career as
they assume major responsibilities as leaders in education. |
|
For the 29 serving Principals/HQ officers
who are assuming new appointments, it is an affirmation of MOE’s
confidence and trust in their abilities to continue guiding our teachers
and our young, and to infuse new ideas in our search for excellence. |
|
The process of systematically appointing and
rotating Principals not only enables schools to benefit from the
infusion of fresh perspectives, but also gives Principals the
opportunity to take on different challenges as part of their career
development. |
|
Ms Seah Jiak Choo, Director-General of
Education, will present the Certificates of Appointment to all 65
Principals at the 10th Appointment Ceremony for Principals on 28
Dec. |
|
Minister for Education, Mr Tharman
Shanmugaratnam, will grace the ceremony as Guest-of-Honour. The
ceremony is organised by MOE to recognise the important role our
Principals play in education. |
