Singapore Teachers' Union's 6th National Delegates' Conference

More than 80 delegates and observers gathered at One Marina Boulevard (NTUC Singapore) for the Singapore Teachers’ Union’s 6th National Delegates’ Conference.

In his opening address, President Mr Mohamed Salleh encouraged all present to reflect on our achievements, address our challenges, and reaffirm our shared commitment to one another and to our calling as educators. Together, as one, we will continue to protect and promote teachers and teaching — for ourselves, for our students, and for the future of Singapore. 

Delegates voted unanimously in favour (100%) of the Constitution Amendments. The General Secretary, Mike Thiruman, presented the Central Council Report, reviewing the work and achievements of STU from late 2023 to September 2025 in our core areas of industrial relations, teacher wellness, career coaching and membership. He also highlighted STU’s commitment to the Teacher Work Attachment Plus (TWA+) by the Ministry of Education, Singapore.

We also welcomed the new Central Council (2025–2029), who will carry forward STU’s mission with dedication and purpose.

A heartfelt thank you to all delegates and observers for your active participation and continued support.

STU Delegates' Dialogue with Education Minister, Mr Desmond Lee

At STU’s recent delegates’ engagement session, STU General Secretary Mr Mike Thiruman shared key highlights for the upcoming 6th National Delegates’ Conference.
He spoke about the core issues raised, from teacher workload and leadership renewal, to building a culture of care, trust, and collaboration in schools. The resolutions passed at the NDC will shape STU’s direction over the next four years, with a focus on career support, engaging younger educators, and amplifying teachers’ voices in shaping policy, which the delegates actually did during their dialogue with the Education Minister, Mr Desmond Lee, which followed the engagement session.
It was a meaningful session with active dialogue and shared purpose, all for a stronger teaching community.
