Dress Code for Student Teachers on Campus

NIE aims to cultivate a positive teacher culture among its student teachers so that they may develop into cultured teachers. A cultured teacher is one who is smart looking, confident, caring, creative, and a mentor, learner and leader.

As part of the desire to project a positive total image of teachers, a dress code for student teachers on campus has been established and student teachers are expected to observe the code.
