Research
NIE has built up substantial research capacity that is of great value to Singapore education. It has laid a strong foundation for educational research that has attracted international attention. The Singapore Government actively supports the Institute in education research and is strongly committed to evidence-based policy development and improved pedagogical practices in schools.
The Office of Education Research (OER) oversees education research across NIE to forge an NIE-wide programme of research, development and innovation. It facilitates the governance, planning, monitoring, quality assurance and dissemination of education research across the Institute.
The office supports four research centres viz the Centre for Research in Pedadogy and Practice, Learning Sciences Laboratory, Centre for International Comparative Studies and UNESCO-NIE Centre for Arts Research in Education.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
