There are more than enough Supt-equivalent positions to go around, if you look beyond just Schools Division. There are many DD and D level positions, similar in pay grade to a cluster supt, in other divisions which will (and currently do) benefit from being filled by EOs rather than non-educators.

Supposedly, it's so that JHs don't simply focus on "box ticking" and maximising their progression by trying to game the system as Singaporeans are wont to do.

Of course, the validity/effectiveness of the above is subject to debate.

Thanks in advance if any of you are familiar with the above!

I have personality witnessed MOE Overseas and Local scholarship holders who quit after their bonds were over.

In short, dun count on your eggs before they are hatched.

Clearly you don’t know your stuff.

Hi all, i am just curious, i am currently an MOE teacher teaching mother tongue, but i m interested to change the subject that i teach.

What are the ways to go about it? Can i apply during the application window period to teach other subjects even though i am already employed in MOE?

Haven't heard of it before. Your CS1 and CS2 are both Mother Tongue related. Since you are already a trained teacher, tough luck.

MOE needs more MT and EL teachers.

Just wondering , with covid 19 now, do we need to remove mask during job interview at MOE?

Is there a maximum period an officer can stay at GEO 3 before he is promoted to GEO 4?

No. The officer can theoretically be consistently getting C- and not being promoted and not be placed on PRP.

Teachers teach wearing their masks. If by wearing a mask and the panel of interviewers can't make out what you are saying. It speaks volumes.
