IfE Prospectus 2024-2025

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