SINGAPORE: Forty-one schools will have new principals as part of the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) annual appointment and rotation exercise.
Of these, 25 are newly appointed principals, MOE said in a press release on Wednesday (Oct 8).
The 41 schools comprise two junior colleges, 20 secondary schools, and 19 primary schools.
"The process of appointing and rotating principals allows schools to benefit from new perspectives, and enables experienced principals to share best practices across schools," said MOE.
"Our principals will have the opportunity to broaden their experiences and strengthen the work of the schools that they are newly appointed to lead."
MOE added that it is an "important career milestone" for the 25 newly appointed principals, as they take on "greater responsibilities as leaders in education".
For the other 16 principals taking on new principalship appointments, the education ministry said that it is an affirmation of MOE’s confidence in their abilities to continue leading and guiding teachers, staff and students in schools.
