President’s Award for Teachers

What is PAT?

The President’s Award for Teachers (PAT), gives national recognition to the critical role teachers play in moulding the future of our nation. These excellent teachers prepare their students for life. They are models of commitment to continual learning and enterprise. They are those who, through word and deed, inspire both their students and peers. The award will be presented by the President of the Republic of Singapore on Teachers’ Day. At least one primary school teacher and one secondary school/junior college/centralised institute teacher will receive the award. The award was introduced in 1998.
The award will be used for professional development and personal enrichment and includes an expense-paid trip overseas for this purpose. The recipient of the PAT will be involved in the professional development of fellow teachers.
