they are taking in 1500 to 2000 new teachers each year, apart from the SAF drawing in NSF conscripts, which organization takes in so many people a year?

just read an article carried by TRS, was about a former teacher leaving the service only to come back as an adjunct teacher. did a lil' read up and found out that contract-adjunct and flexi-adjunct schemes are available. the TRS article reflected that the adjunct teacher need not cover things like CCA, whereas the MOE site states that these adjunct teachers may be assigned CCA based on school needs.
in the past, CCAs were in fact ECAs. what happened?

The shit remains and accumulates making it ever more unbearable for the good ones, forcing more good ones to quit. It is a vicious cycle.

can't help but lament that we are mere economic digits... where everything in this system to the MIW is nothing but ROI...

female teachers are good for sucking cock.

male teachers are good for nothing.

The % does not tell the true story.

the group of teachers from the baby boom years are nearing their retirement age, last noted.

annual recruitment exercises conducted, over 1500-2000 teachers inducted annually. apart from SAF, which other organisation does that?

chanced upon some Parliamentary responses dated back in 2006, noted that about 1000 ex-teachers rejoined as adjuncts, half of them are retired teachers half of them left the service but came back as adjuncts.

Full time teachers don't want to be full time, want to convert to be part time.

That is unhealthy,

SKH skimmed the surface when he was NMP, would YJJ dare open up this can of worms?

education is the bedrock of any civilisation. corrections have to be made if something had gone wrong somewhere :o

in the past, CCAs were in fact ECAs. what happened?

The change in terminology was made to reflect the concept of "holistic education" ie. to show that performance in CCAs are just as important as academic results. That's why the "Co-" instead of the "Extra-" as in the past. But truth be told, it is all just another load of typical MOE crap. The only thing the change achieved was more stress all around for students and teachers when schools now put as much emphasis on chasing CCA awards as they do on academic achievements. Bottom line - now everything also must be kilat!

talking about the all-rounder, what ever happened to the old adage, Jack of all trades, master of none?
