ITE gets thumbs-up from Australian government officials and students

Students at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) should count their blessings for having some of the best teachers, curricula, training methods and facilities in the world.

That was the conclusion of visiting staff and students from Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions, the equivalent of ITE in Australia.

"A number of senior Australian government delegations visited ITE College East and were especially impressed by the dedication of the trainers, the use of modern teaching tools and the effective curriculum," said Mr Suhaimy Hassan, director (education) of the Australian Education International (AEI) in Singapore.

The AEI is the international arm of the Australian government's Department of Edeucation, Employment and Workplace Relations.
