Wrt question 1), if you have, in the interim been teaching in a school/ tuition centre that does MOE syllabus, will it help you with your chances?
I wonder what the interview is like for ex-teachers. There are a lot of interview reviews for new teachers (where they have to deliver a mock class to the interview panel). Is it the same for experienced teachers?
I also heard that what you said at the exit interview will also affect your chances of coming back. |
These days, there are really excess teachers such that should 1 apply for NPL for more than 6 months, they would not be automatically reabsorbed into the system.
Returning NPL of more than 6 months teachers would have to compete with others during the opening posting. If you are not able to secure a position, you would be put on NPL again till the next opening. I have colleagues who have since quit.
If you want to secure a position in a school, best is you have KPs or even SLs who can request for you.
In short, ex
moe teachers returning to the system are extremely hard now.. And I even have had colleague's spouses that resign but faced multiple rejections when they tried to apply back to be a teacher.
