I know of a senior, back then it was super duper easy to get into teaching.. Cos moe was actively increasing its strength from 28,000 to 33,000.

Even then, it took her 4 attempts, each interval of 6 months apart.. In total, she took 2 years. Nus maths major..

The reality now is there are excess teachers.. Hence, many are encouraged to cross over to primary school.

MOE now just recruits teachers to replace the teachers who have resigned and etc..

It's alot harder now.
