 ITE
Praised for its Commitment towards Students
On 3 August 2005, ITE College East hosted a visit by a four-member team
from the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, Korea. The Korean delegation
was led by Superintendent, Mr Seol Dong-geun, who heads the Korean Education
Ministry of Busan. Mr Tan Seng Hua, Principal, ITE College East, hosted
the visit. The visitors were impressed with ITE’s system of management
and operations, and its emphasis on the ‘hands-on, minds-on
and hearts-on’ learning philosophy. ITE was complimented for
its full commitment in serving the needs of its full-time and part-time
students. The visitors left impressed with ITE College East’s learning
environment.
 An
Insight into ITE’s Certification System
Representatives from the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate
(UCLES) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), led by Mr Simon
Lebus, Group CEO, visited ITE Headquarters on 17 August 2005, to find
out more about the ITE skills standards and certification system. Accompanying
the group was Mr Tan Yap Kwang, Chief Executive of the Singapore Examinations
and Academic Board (SEAB).
The delegation
learnt that ITE has partnered several education institutions in China
and Vietnam, to offer the Nitec International.
 A
First-Hand Feel of ITE
You could tell that these young Officers were really intent to learn more
about ITE. For the 12 officers from the various public ministries and
statutory boards, it was their first time stepping into an ITE College.
And it was a valuable learning journey, too, as they had their questions
answered by Mr Tan Seng Hua, Principal, ITE College East, who hosted the
visit on 19 August 2005.
The programme
was organised by the Institute of Policy Development of the Civil Service
College. Ms Ho Hsu Mei, Deputy Manager, Policy Division, Maritime and
Port Authorityof Singapore, said: “I was impressed by the efforts
made by ITE in reaching out to Secondary 2 students under the Experience
ITE Programme. More could be done to educate parents on the ITE education
system, too.”
