how hard is the course in NIE??
Depends. Also depends on which course in NIE, got quite a few diff ones. But almost every cohort in many (not all) courses got pple drop-out (due to failure to meet grades), then (depending on ur type of contract) got to compensate MOE. In my cohort got some drop-outs had to pay back about $60-80k.
Then there's always the most aggravating type of drop-out failure reason - all course/modules score As, then practicum (on-job-training) get posted to a school where you just can't get along with the HOD/cooperating teachers/principal, kena marked and fail by them, then (becoz practicum is essential requirement for passing) entire course fail. My cohort got at least one such case. Almost every cohort have. But quite rare lah.
Enjoy ur course!!!
