MESSAGE FROM THE CEO<br />
Message from the CEO<br />
The academic year <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>2025</strong> marks a significant<br />
milestone for the Institute for Education (<strong>IfE</strong>) as<br />
it celebrates its 10 th anniversary. Since its inception<br />
in 2015 it has served as a key institution for initial<br />
teacher training, professional development of all<br />
stakeholders involved in the education sector,<br />
and the development of qualifications for anyone<br />
providing a service in schools. The <strong>IfE</strong> has<br />
consistently prioritised its commitment to shaping<br />
future generations through an evolving learning<br />
community. The <strong>IfE</strong> has moulded professionals<br />
who have at heart the wellbeing of their students<br />
through rewarding educational experiences.<br />
Within a constantly changing world, the <strong>IfE</strong> team<br />
persevered to propose worthwhile practices that<br />
could happen in schools and in classrooms.<br />
Our journey began with a vision ‘To shape future<br />
generations through an ever-evolving learning<br />
environment.’ Anchored in values of equity and<br />
social justice, the <strong>IfE</strong> has unwaveringly upheld these<br />
principles in every course designed and delivered.<br />
It prioritises the fostering of learning communities<br />
that influence the student’s holistic development in<br />
a personalised way.<br />
The <strong>IfE</strong>’s personalised learning approach recognises<br />
the unique strengths, aspirations, and challenges<br />
of each course participant. The team’s dedication<br />
extends to supporting each person throughout the<br />
educational journey. Competencies are developed<br />
in an inclusive environment that places the wellbeing<br />
of the course participant at the centre of all<br />
decisions taken.<br />
Our commitment to steer away from traditional<br />
assessment methods and adopt a no-examination<br />
policy proved to be successful throughout these<br />
years. We have championed alternative forms of<br />
assessment that focus on holistic development,<br />
critical thinking, and practical application of<br />
knowledge. The successful application of such an<br />
assessment practice and the strong evidence of<br />
learning, support our decision in this matter; and we<br />
intend to continue to improve whenever possible.<br />
During the past decade, the <strong>IfE</strong> has forged<br />
collaborations and partnerships with esteemed<br />
institutions and external contributors both locally<br />
and abroad. This has enriched the institution and<br />
has brought in several opportunities for the course<br />
participants to broaden their experiences in the<br />
world outside the education sector. The wealth<br />
of information and the encountering of diverse<br />
perspectives continuously enhance the educational<br />
experiences of our course participants contributing<br />
to their professional progress.<br />
Our dedication to research has elevated the <strong>IfE</strong>’s<br />
status as a significant contributor to education.<br />
Our involvement in the ongoing dialogue about<br />
effective teaching methodologies, teacher<br />
professional development, and educational policy<br />
has increased during the past few years, and we<br />
intend to strengthen this area and to become more<br />
influential.<br />
Acknowledging that growth comes with challenges,<br />
the <strong>IfE</strong> remains steadfast in overcoming hurdles<br />
