Strategic Planning and Engagement

The Strategic Planning & Engagement (SPE) department leads NIE’s strategic planning and engagement efforts. It assists the NIE Senior Leadership in overseeing the formulation, implementation and communication of the Institute’s medium term strategic plan. The current NIE 2030 Strategic Vision ('NIE 2030') charts the institute-level strategic directions and mid-term priorities of the National Institute of Education (NIE) for the Academic Years 2026/2027 to 2030/2031. With the theme, ’Empowering Educators and Co-creating Communities for Flourishing Futures’, NIE 2030 is designed to grow NIE's impact in a fast-shifting global education landscape marked by the rapid ascendency of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

Besides playing a critical role in charting the strategic directions of NIE, SPE works synergistically with Public, International and Alumni Relations (PIAR) and other departments to enhance our channels of strategic and corporate communications and strengthen NIE’s international outreach and engagement.

The department is also the Secretariat for the meetings of the NIE Council and its Executive Committee, the Director’s Strategic Review and Development Meeting (DSM), the MOE-NIE Coordination Committee (MNCC) and the MOE-NIE Working Group (MNWG).
