i want to be a teacher
-
hey people it's me again. i'm sorry that i keep asking questions but i just want to make sure of everything.
i asked my teacher about being a teacher and she said we could take A level then go to NIE to take the degree programme.
but i haven't got the chance to ask her that, would it be competitive for A level holders and diploma holders to take the degree programme?
like normal local universities such as NUS/NTU that there is only a small intake of diploma holders and most of them are given to the jc students. does it apply the same for NIE bachelor of science/arts?
so it shouldn't be a problem for poly grads to enter the NIE degree programme as though entering private uni? -
i heard that its possible yet difficult for diploma holders to get into the deg course of education.

I believe it'll be on a level and fair basis for both A level holders and Diploma holders.Originally posted by m0use:hey people it's me again. i'm sorry that i keep asking questions but i just want to make sure of everything.

To know more, you should attend their open house or career talks that are held frequently.
Good luck! -

Better to make it to the University (either JC route or Poly route) and major in a subject which is a relevant teaching subject (ie. closely related to a secondary school or JC subject), then sign up with MOE and take a one-year Diploma course at NIE.Originally posted by m0use:i'm not applying yet. currently still stuyding but i want to be a teacher in the future so have to plan out my life path so i would know where to go.
Your pay will be better this way, and your bond time will be much less.
If you sign up with MOE with only an 'A' level cert or poly diploma, you will have to attend either a 4 year NIE course (paywise almost as much as if you went University on your own), or a 1 year NIE course (paywise much less).
At the end of the 4 year NIE course, you can teach only primary school for a couple years, then can teach Sec school. If the 1 year NIE course (ie. after your JC or poly), you will only be allowed to teach primary school your whole life.
So my recommendation is - make it to a University on your own first (JC route easier, Poly route also possible), then sign up with MOE.

Go and be PE teacher!! Very eng and get higher pay!
-
They are moving towards all teachers having at least a degree or higher.
Forget all that crap about passion to teach and love for kids.
You won't get in if you don't have paper.
It's paper they want to see now. -
Is it very hard to get into NIE? Any interview? Whats the subject teachers most in demand now?Originally posted by UltimaOnline:Better to make it to the University (either JC route or Poly route) and major in a subject which is a relevant teaching subject (ie. closely related to a secondary school or JC subject), then sign up with MOE and take a one-year Diploma course at NIE.

Sorry..I am blurt on this issue but I ever heard the lowest requirement to be a teacher in secondary or primary is 5 GCE O pass or something -
I am not sure about the interview leh.. Then must take the English test blah blah test.Originally posted by fallin:Is it very hard to get into NIE? Any interview? Whats the subject teachers most in demand now?
Then in your pass the interview then take another test lor. It's about the subject which you wanna teach...
The science test very easy de... I read the things that will be tested on their website le.. -

cos i love interacting with students. i love school life although sometimes it could be dreadful but the moment you graduate, you'll find it memorable. when the whole class laughed together with the teacher etc. so i want to be in school life forever.

waah.Originally posted by m0use:cos i love interacting with students. i love school life although sometimes it could be dreadful but the moment you graduate, you'll find it memorable. when the whole class laughed together with the teacher etc. so i want to be in school life forever.
got real interest seh.
good luck. -
Advise you to go to Uni before applying for NIE to be a teacher. Fact is you need a degree or you really can't go far. If fresh out of JC/Poly, your odds of being accepted for the NIE is very low and even then, after you finish, the prospects are not very good also.

Sorry to burst your bubble here.Originally posted by m0use:cos i love interacting with students. i love school life although sometimes it could be dreadful but the moment you graduate, you'll find it memorable. when the whole class laughed together with the teacher etc. so i want to be in school life forever.
Interacting with students when you are a student yourself is a fcuking different thing than interacting with students as a teacher.
Have you seen teachers cry and have a mental breakdown at the teachers' lounge because they couldn't control their students?
No?
