The President’s Award for Teachers (PAT) and the Outstanding Young Educators’ Award (OYEA) (formerly known as the Outstanding Youth in Education Award) are presented to teachers in Singapore to recognise their professional excellence. Both PAT and OYEA are national awards.

1. PAT pays tribute to experienced teachers for their role in moulding the future of our nation.  These teachers are role models for the teaching profession as they embody a deep passion for teaching, and they inspire both their students and peers through their words and deeds.

2. OYEA recognises young teachers who have demonstrated admirable passion for teaching, and commitment to inspiring and nurturing their students.  These teachers embody youthful idealism, energy and enthusiasm, and inspire both their students and peers through their words and deeds. Teachers who are 35 years old and below in 2027 are eligible for the award.
