Hi again, I’m the one who replied going for FLP. You may not have realized it yet, but the FLP is a 10-year programme. That’s the runway and timespan the Ministry is prepared to groom you to become a leader in Education. The course itself is 2 weeks long, which you will be officially excused from school. Post-course, you will be given the relevant opportunities throughout your career for exposure to different parts of MOE (e.g., HQ posting, staffing of POH’s visits, etc) as well as the Civil Service at large. You will also receive an allowance annually during your time in FLP. This is to account for the additional stretch portfolio you will be given.

I am assuming that you are currently still a relatively young EO in service, who has clearly shown a lot of potential to be a future leader. I will strongly suggest that you speak with your school Principal to find out more about the programme. As this is a very rare opportunity only given to a very selected small group each year, most of your colleagues in school would not know or even heard of FLP.

Hope this helps! And all the best!

Wah you show hand already. I thought FLP not supposed to say you’re in FLP. HR very secretive about it and in fact don’t want everybody to know about it.. 😆 But actually, FLP is not the pinnacle of talent management program in MOE… This one not even all FLP people will know about it but you have to be FLP to know about it.

It's obvious, people come here to flex only. Position it as "kindly giving advice to juniors" but give all the extra info unnecessarily on the public domain. Somebody who is really placed on FLP will have access to these information already, no need to come here and humblebrag.

What happened to being 'discreet' and 'sensitive to others who are not on FLP'?

Yar the real one is PSLP

Hmm, is there PSLP for Education Service specifically? I would have thought specialist leaders in MOE would be groomed through FLP, while generalist top management would be AOs. Could be wrong, I'm not a senior civil servant

Everyone already knows. EMS scholars and above automatically get into FLP

Yes, I know that the existence of the FLP is public knowledge. But the details of it are not supposed to be, and not helpful to parade all over here (especially if just to flex).

The rat race is Singapore's national sport. Naturally people love to flex their successes in the rat race. It's the biggest dick measuring contest in the country.

Any Geo 5 / 5A /SEO going for promotion ceremony soon?

What's TMU?
