It's a standard payout - exact figures are available on HR Online, I believe.

Hi will NIE take medical graduate as teachers? What kind of teaching career will medical graduates be able to do and at what level? Thank you so much. I am currently working in a restructured hospital working 80 hours a pay getting paid very little when compared to the amount of effort I'm putting in. I don't think being a doctor is what I will like to do in the future and something like teaching might be slightly better. What is the starting pay like as a teacher and how many hours a week I can expect to be working?

No.

But if your postgraduate studies is sponsored by moe aka post-graduate scholarship and etc.. Then yes..

Masters are nothing unless moe sent you for it.

Unregistered 24-12-2019 08:32 PM

Does anyone know what the requirements are to go for full-time Masters (local/overseas) sponsored by MOE?

Also, what benefits are included? Thanks in advance :)

Most of the times, your RO would have communicated to you about the likelihood of a C- before ranking, unless your C- was only determined after things started surfacing during the ranking sessions. Nevertheless, you would know the afi and should have worked on them. So getting two consecutive C- is an indicator that you did not do things right or simply you might not be suitable for teaching. But I have seen JHs who got out of that situation after getting two C-. So not all hopes are lost.

No, my RO did not tell warn me about C- during epms session in the first few years. I have done my due diligence as a teacher and as a person. Actually I did not know that a RO should warn about C- until I transfer to another school. I did not even sign on the epms form where one gets to read RO review on appraisal form. I used to digitally sign on my epms. So ya, I was a rookie then.

just wondering if the above matter happens to anyone else, what can one do? Write to student union?

Hmmmm...i don't think your cep will be raised even if you were to get a sponsorship from the ministry to further your studies. CEP is reviewed yearly, and largely dependent on your capability to take on greater responsibilities, which is shown through your work performance and attitude.

Different schools practise differently.
Most schools: Your RO cannot tell you C- specifically. But you may be hinted of this grade during your communication or at work review meetings. Eg,through highlighting certain KRA areas you are lacking at, hence there are areas of improvement in those areas. Esp so for higher sub grades like geo 4 and 5.
Current work requirements are you must exceed in some areas to get a C. Meeting requirements in all areas won’t warrant you a C.

In this case, what you said as ‘doing due diligence’, is meeting basic requirements of the sub grade.

I bet to differ. Your RO SHOULD tell you your performance grade. It should not be a surprise/shock in April the following year. Hush hush practice is not preferred over transparency. There is a need to conclude the year so that better setting of expectations can be done the following year. That alos helps build trust and open communication between ROs and JHs. I am not sure about the 'most schools' that you were referring to. But I realised that times have changed, and so has the guidelines from top down. In the recent years, we have been told explicitly to share the grades with JHs during EOY review.

Really? This is unheard of. The common practice is not to reveal the performance grades for fear that things change last minute. Please share when did you receive the guidelines to explicitly share performance grade and are you from schs or HQ?

He can expect to get slightly more than the indicative range for GEO1 Dip
$1,800 - $2,350.

With his years of exp, probably about 2500.

He will be paid while studying in NIE, but he has to serve a bond of 3 years.
Diploma in Ed - 2 years. PGDE - 16 months.

He does not have a degree so he can only go for Diploma in Ed? Don't think he can go pdge. So during NIE, he will get abt $2000+ monthly?

Not sure. Depends on the offer by NIE. Suggest to just go for the interview and see what the outcome is or ask during the interview.

Sorry to pop your bubble. These days, moe is highly selective. For mid careers, they only pick the cream OD the crop. Likewise for fresh grads. Long gone were the days where anyone can come in.

These days, the new teachers came from secondary schools like crescent, nyg, hci, ri to name some.

AED is more feasible but to be honest. It's not worth it.

There was a BT who once asked a smiliar question. But in the end, resigned after the bond was up. He was a scholar. Dun count your chickens before they are hatched.

These days, it's all very competitive. If not for academics then maybe you are outstanding in other parts?

Very hard to get into teaching these days.
