Recently, outstanding economics teachers from seven junior colleges were honoured at Singapore’s first Outstanding Economics Teacher Award presentation.

Ms Deborah How, head of arts at Hwa Chong Institution, was lauded for her ability at rendering complex ideas tangible and understandable.

Mdm Rahimah binte Salim, the lead teacher of economics at Anglo-Chinese Junior College, was praised for her acute awareness of students’ evolving learning styles, and for guiding fellow teachers in the usage of seminar-style teaching.

Acting Minister for Education (Schools) Ng Chee Meng, who presented the awards, said in a speech that it is important to make learning a journey of discovery for students.

The awards were launched by the Economic Society of Singapore (ESS) in August this year.
