Welcome Message
A very warm welcome to the website of our Committee on Professional Development of Teachers and Principals (COTAP).
COTAP is an advisory body which advises the Government on policies, practices and measures relating to the professional development of the teaching profession at different stages of professional growth.
We trust that a professional teaching force can effectively facilitate school development and provide quality education to our students. We earnestly look forward to working closely with all our stakeholders to contribute to this meaningful cause.
This website provides the latest information about the work of COTAP. You will also be able to find information on various teachers' professional development activities, as well as other related documents and useful links. We welcome your views and suggestions on COTAP's work or the content of this website. We would much appreciate it if these could be sent to the COTAP Secretariat for our continuous improvement.
