SINGAPORE: The Education Ministry is looking at appointing School Staff Developers (SSD) in every school.

An SSD is a senior staff member who looks after the planning and implementation of the professional development of teachers and staff.

This was announced by Education Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam at a teachers' graduation ceremony at the Nanyang Technological University.

He said MOE is currently testing the appointment of an SSD in a mixture of primary, secondary schools and junior colleges before rolling out this scheme to all schools.

Mr Tharman said: "We are giving dedicated attention to the individual well-being of our teachers. A staff well-being unit has been set up in the ministry as part of our Training and Development Division to promote an integrated approach to the physical, social and emotional dimensions."

人情味不是偏私而是博爱，

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌，

而是内心的尊重。
