They only accept uni lecturer from university overseas that are famous? How about malaysia uni or private uni?

Usually not. Reputation of the Universities is, i think, one of the critical requirements.

Agreed. Though in reality, a teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience could get about 7 - 8k. Thereafter, it will depend on which track are you on.

For University lecturers, starting should be about 7 - 8k if you're lucky. If you get tenure, then its a different story. Long story short, highly competitive to be a university lecturer if you have no relevant industry experience or good post-doc stint with good publications to boot.

HAHAHAHAHAH. MOE teacher 9k???? Thats hilarious man. Maybe after 11-12 years. Uni lecturer 15k? You joking or what, you're obviously not in the education industry and I'd implore you to not comment.

I know from my ex-colleague that NUS (and most likely other local public Univ) now has separate teaching track and tenure (traditional) track for their academic staffs. Teaching track will start from lecturer and eventually be teaching professor. Not sure if it is tenured or always based on renewable contract. Tenure track is the traditional track that one start from assistant professor and after about 5 years if got tenure then be promoted to associate professor and got his/her iron rice bowl. many associate prof. become stagnant till retirement

The 9k MOE teacher is obvious BS, but just to add those that say after 10-12 years teachers can reach 8-9k are also way way too optimistic.

10 years exp means a typical 33 year old female or 35 year old male teacher. If you think you are going to get 8-9k by early 30s as a MOE teacher, its time to wake up your idea.

Only a selected few who go on management fast track can come close to that. If you are just a typical average performer teacher, you will need at least 20+ years as 8-9k is near the max of a Senior Teacher pay scale which is usually for those in their 40s & 50s.

MOE teachers not bad leh. Quite a number of them have cars nowadays. My 30-35 year JC science tutor once mentioned he earns $10,000+ but that includes his private tuition services.
