      I discovered a tuition centre tutor lying that he is an ex-moe jc teacher when he doesn't even have an NIE certificate. this is absurd. moe doesn't check on tuition centers?

      jc teacher does not need nie cert i think...

      the nie also trains teachers for pri and sec... most jc and poly and ite teachers are professionals in the working field...

      u can check this thru the moe website... i read about this some time ago...

            I am not sure about JC teacher. But poly and ITE teachers confirm not NIE trained. A few of my friends become poly and ITE teachers. They required only industrial experience. Which is more relevant.

                jc / poly / ite all classified as tertiary education.. they should be the same..

                  As far as I know, Pri/Sec/JC teachers must have professional teacher training qualifications, be it degree/post graduate diploma at NIE or at recognised overseas universities. Usually (not all) Honours grads would be posted to JC after graduating from NIE.

                      JC is not considered as tertiary education.
