Hello, so i saw that this post was made in 2017 and even now the requirements on the moe website has not changed. I am currently an undergraduate majoring in Linguistics at Monash University, Australia but because of covid I have had to continue my degree online. While monash university is in the top 200 QS ranking I am very anxious on the point of \"on-campus\". Do you think my situation would be considered off campus? Or would on-campus refer to government schools and not private institutes specifically? Hopefully someone can reply, because I know how old this post is but thanks

To be relief teacher, just deposit resume? So far nobody call me to ask me teach. :sad:

go to MOE, fill up appln form, deposit the relevant cert.. that's all.

That was decades ago.. not sure now still valid or not..

A friend of mine has a similar story, only that she did take up the scholarship (degree program), but decided to quit after the 1st year, as she was offered to do science, where she has no passion in. She applied to teach again, using her 'A' levels results and was accepted. She did her DipEd and now teaching in a primary school. So I think that if you're really passionate about teaching, give it a try

I am also thinking of a mid-career switch into teaching. I am a Singapore citizen (born and bred). I have a B.Eng (Hons) and M.Sc, both from NUS. I did well enough at 'A'-levels to be offered a PSC scholarship in teaching, but I rejected it then. I am now almost 40. I am just wondering if I will stand a chance due to my age. I also wonder if my rejection about 20 years ago would have any negative impact on my application?

Is there anyone who is in a similar situation who could share any insights or views?

[quote=\"limlim\"]There are teachers leaving.. but there are mid-career professionals who can't wait to get in too..

[quote=\"mummy2008\"]Yes, some are looking for teachers desperately. Ntuc kindy is expanding, they are looking many early childhood teacher or assist teacher.


Moe is picky, I won't be surprise. In fact they should do that.
What if they recruit anyhow teacher? Our kids will be the victim.
So, I support moe to be a picky n strict to search a good teacher

Kindy or childcare? Childcare teachers got to bath and clean up after kids...

Hmm.. come to think of it, my friend also taught part-time at the school near her house before she applied for training at NIE. No prior teaching experience.

Last time I went to a school for interview, they said they only want adjunct teachers, which means ex-NIE trained teachers..

Maybe different schools got different expectations.. if not NIE trained also can teach part time, I'm looking for such lobangs also..

If they find you suitable, MOE will place you to teach as an untrained teacher until the course is available. If MOE has doubts about someone's capability (especially conversing in English, I believe), they may place the candidate as an untrained teacher for a year. Thereafter, the principal will recommend to MOE the suitability of the candidate as a teacher. If found suitable, he/she will be sent for the course.

That's not how it works..

First, they select you for the interview. Then, after the interview, they will decide whether to offer you a teaching position (if they do, meaning already confirmed you as a teacher).

NIE course intake is twice a year I guess. If there is some period until the course, they may place you in a school to teach and experience what is it like to be a teacher, maybe guided by some experienced staff. If you don't like it, you can withdraw. If you like it, you can stay on and wait for the course. Note that you are already confirmed, regardless of how you perform at the schools before the NIE course.

Unless they change the system, then I'm not sure.

Also, note that while waiting for NIE course and during NIE course, the untrained teacher is drawing FULL salary. (~$3.2k, hons, fresh grad)

So, teachers is actually a very attractive profession.. not sure why so many pple complain here and there..

Fresh graduates, usually with no working experience, are employed by the government under similar pay schemes. Is there any reason why those applying for teaching posts should be offered a different pay scheme? :?

Better than some jobs (same qual) in the private sector..

so.. govt job is good $$$$, including teaching.
