teaching is really fun, but they pay like **** + never ending admin work. then need to satisfy those higher ups, no thx lol.

ya its very difficult, i tried my very best. during sch time if i free i go study, be it 30mins i just study, go home i commit another 2hrs mugging then go back to lesson planning and family bondoing. its very tiring and need alot of discipline and motivation.

when i failed cfa 2nd time, i wanna give up liao. need reapply 350usd++ and alrdy paid 4 digits+ for it. but I just live on to what i told my kids ' is ok to fail, but just dont give up '
whack on and finally passed it.

Idol ......

7 years in..

Ive nth left to give..
F teh system!!!

Mind sharing what you teach for tuition? My rate is $60-$70/h only, teaching primary school subjects.

I totally enjoy teaching but the admin and parents and workload is really really too much. And with kids is another different level. Not sure how much longer I can endure. With kids, tuition might not be the best option because of the weekends which have to be burnt. Sigh.


I'm looking at other options. Anyone know if secondment to other govt sectors are better? Or are they the same like MOE?

i focus highly on sec sch and A's math and physics, sec sch my rate as high as $80, jc my rate as high as $100. I think cos i have good reviews and perhaps through mouth of words.

I also teaching in groups. One of my close friend's parents stay in landed, so i rent one of their rooms (with whiteboard of course) to teach groups tuition for $150 a day (grp tuition i will minus -$8 per hr for each students). Saturday have 1 batch from 9am-11am, (sec sch, 6 students ) then next batch 12pm - 2pm (jc students, i have 12 now, grew from 3 since jan 2022) , following batch 230pm-430pm (programming,$50 per hr). I started doing programming too in my free time back then, and coming up with my own 'lecture' notes (essentially i copied from one lol , but i make it organized and easy to understand. 2 students at the moment )

Half of saturday burn... but if you calculate the money for 1/2 saturday, around 8hrs, worth it ( for me la )

Some of my batchmates didn't even look for secondment. Just left completely for other public service sectors. They never looked back since.

That’s like a lot of money for a day’s work! Thanks for sharing.

i’m in my first year of secondment at a statboard (education related), and it’s been a refreshing change with no markings/parents/students at the back of my mind. leave is relatively easier to apply and get approved. however, the drawback is that you have to pick up and learn new things in a fast pace manner. in schools/classroom you have a timetable to follow, so you’re clear on your ‘deadlines’. but office work requires a of discipline and you’ll need to manage your own calender as you work with various stakeholders

Hi can i check fajt rate..

Depends on
1) last drawn
Or
2) years in svc
Or
3) subgrade ?

Unless you are the admin involved in hiring FAJT, or you have reliable info from them, you are unlikely to know how you get your rate.

According to a document shown to me by my school’s admin clerk, it had a set of rates for Teachers with different years of experience eg. Less than 5 years, 6-10 years, 11-15 years and above 15 years, and academic qualifications eg. Pass degree, degree with merit, degree with 2nd lower class and third class, degree with 1st and 2nd upper class honours.

But that was something from more than 10 years ago so things may have changed.

Is your salary frozen during your years of secondment? Or will you still receive MIs? Is there performance bonus?

resign and 13m bonus
 

i hope i'm at the right thread regarding resignation and pay. a question for those who have gone through a similar situation. i'm wondering if the 13month bonus will be affected (prorated or something else) if i resign and my last day of service is 31 dec?

Doubt so. But interested to know as well!

Is there a way to report your supervisor for giving ficticious grade?

68722220 .

What is a fictitious grade?

How is that possible?

i think TS refer to a grade he cannot accept

Yes I remember someone was charged in court for receiving bribes and giving low grades to his subordinates

I am just wondering if there are temporary positions at tuition centres during June and Dec holidays?

Hope to narrow the big income loss gap during the school holidays as some students are also not having lessons during Dec holidays.

go ask them lor

can i check for FAJT, my take home pay is 80% of the T1 & T2 rates?

Thanks

i know of ppl who quit teaching, then chose to do skillsfuture course to gain new skills. i think its a good move to do something that you like, or something that is not too stressful. some more skillsfuture has subsidies...so is a win-win situation. i think its called the bcg data analytics program. after the program then pivot to IT industry. doing something that fits is more important i feel...otherwise working at a job for 5 days a week that you don't like will be quite tiring.

No. The T1 rate is only for the first hour. You will be paid the T2 rate for the rest of the hours.

Say you work for 6.5h which is the standard working hours of FAJTs.

The first hour is T1 rate.

The next 5.5h is T2 rate.

You total them up and you will take home 80% of the day’s wage.

thanks for the reply. any cpf contribution from MOE? how many percent of the day's wage?

Yes. I didn’t calculate. I suppose it’s at the standard/normal rate? There is a standard rate of employer contribution according to your age.

Wow good effort. Registered acc to spam this crap course.

Anyone has an idea what is the FAJT rate for GEO5?

Any idea when is the earliest one can apply to be fajt after serving notice? Can apply immediately or must wait until after last day of service?

I also want to know.

Anyone has an idea what is the FAJT rate for GEO3?

Has anyone’s SL mentioned that FAJTs could receive increment based on length of service? Mine did. But not sure when this would be implemented.

Anyone recently applied for fajt and still under processing?

Will there be occasions whereby fajt application is rejected?

Seems to me FAJTs are still required. At least one FAJT from another school asked if I could commit as an FAJT for next year’s Term 1 before school closed.

Thats gd to know..

Any FAJTs who already fulfilled the engagement levels? Any ideas for the increment per hour?

What’s engagement level?
