Ms Tee Lay Hoon, the lead teacher for economics at River Valley High School, won the Outstanding Economics Teacher Award 2023.Ask Ms Tee Lay Hoon, 54, why she decided to pursue a career in teaching 30 years ago, and she says: “I want to tame the wild, and wild the tame.”

The OETA was launched in 2016 by the Economic Society of Singapore to recognise secondary and pre-university teachers who have contributed significantly towards the teaching and learning of economics in school. Seeking a new challenge, she moved in 2001 to Jurong Institute – now Millennia Institute – where she taught management of business and project work.
“Because I did not start out as an economics teacher, it has taught me the value of learning for life to better pre-empt and manage change in education,” she said. “My teaching philosophy and way of life are grounded on ‘kaizen’ – the frequent cycles of continual improvement.”
