National Institute of Education (NIE) Freshmen Orientation Programme

Start your NIE journey with NIE TOP 2025: Cuatro—a three-day orientation designed to help you connect, explore, and thrive. This year’s theme is set in the world of Cuatro, a competitive card game where four colours—Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow—have long stood as equals, each represented by a house: Eos, Rhea, Orion, and Helios.

Now, everything is about to change. The creator of the game has announced that only one colour will be used in the next version of Cuatro—the rest will be retired. As a new player in this unfolding story, you’ll represent your house in a series of challenges that will test your teamwork, creativity, and strategy. But NIE TOP 2025 is more than a game. It’s a chance to build new friendships and get to know the NIE campus and community.

Whether you’re looking to understand student life, clarify doubts, explore your new environment, or simply make meaningful memories—this orientation is for you.

Join us for a fun, engaging, and unforgettable start to your NIE chapter. Your house is calling. Will your colour be the one that remains?
