TEACHERS from India are being recruited to teach here, not just for the Indian Mother Tongue languages but also for subjects such as English, history, geography and economics.

At least 70 of them have been hired in the last four years, with another 10 due here later this year, said a recruitment agency in India engaged by the Ministry of Education (MOE)...

One who arrived here last month is Mr Vivek Mukherjee, 25, who was teaching English language in Kolkata. He took a test in written English, went through an interview and conducted a demonstration class to clinch the job here.

Now in Chestnut Drive Secondary for a 10-week stint, the holder of a master's degree in English literature from the University of Calcutta is on a full scholarship to earn his Postgraduate Diploma in Education from NIE.​

Quote:

Ms A. Goh, second upper honours (Bachelor of Arts) graduate who applied to teach. She now works in a publishing company:
'I applied to teach twice but was not called for an interview. I sought advice from my former school principal and was told to try for an allied educator position, for which you need only a polytechnic diploma.'​

SIM graduates find jobs easily, but earn less

Quote:

However, I realise that the Govt authorities do not recognise my distance-degree when I apply jobs and my qualification is only recognised by the private sectors throughout my employment history. I were once laid off and applied to for relief teaching with MOE during that period and in fact, the authorities only recognised by local Polytechnic certificate and not my distance degree and I were paid as a non-degree rate while being a relief teacher in the govt schools.​

It's not for SG kids to understand them, but for the India Indian kids to 'feel welcome' and 'at home'. SG kids are supposed to 'integrate' with these foreign 'highnesses'.

Your comment is a paradox but I like it.

This is a tragedy.. With their fucked up heavy Ah Neh accent, its goin to be difficult for our kids to understand what the fuck these Global Pundeks are saying in class..

Ah Neh PR kids will feel at home with their countrymen as their teachers but the local kids will feel that they are schooling in India instead of in Spore..

As crops rot, millions go hungry in India
Sun, Jul 1 2012
By Mayank Bhardwaj

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Every day some 3,000 Indian children die from illnesses related to malnutrition, and yet countless heaps of rodent-infested wheat and rice are rotting in fields across the north of their own country.........created by ....an inefficient, corruption-plagued public distribution system that fails millions of impoverished people.......

.....about 6 million tonnes of grain worth at least $1.5 billion (955.5 million pounds) could perish. Analysts say the losses could be far higher because more than 19 million tonnes are now lying in the open, exposed to searing summer heat and monsoon rains..... officials sometimes dip into the sacks of rotting grain to mix it with fresh wheat for distribution to the poor who hold ration cards.....-
....
After buying wheat from farmers and adding freight, storage and transport costs, the free on board (FOB) price is around $346 a tonne. However, Indian wheat would only be competitive in the export market at around $260, which implies a loss - effectively a further subsidy, and this time to consumers in other countries - of $85-90 per tonne for the government............

New Delhi is considering the export of up to 3 million tonnes of wheat to sanctions-hit Iran, but traders say Tehran will not be falling over itself to buy because of concern that Indian grain may be tainted by fungal disease.........

..... 42 percent of India's children under 5 are underweight, almost double that of sub-Saharan Africa. The finding led Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to admit that malnutrition was "a national shame".........
Here the problem is an inefficient and corruption-prone distribution system. Eighteen months ago investigators said millions of dollars worth of grain meant for poor families had been siphoned off and sold locally and abroad in a scam involving hundreds of government officials...........

In 2010 the Supreme Court urged the government to distribute grain free to the hungry rather than let it go to waste in warehouses and open fields, but that hasn't happened..........

What is the pappy's agenda in importing poor quality people from a country such as above?
The 60% will have to bear the consequence of their self genocidal acts.

Ah Nah teacher from India, will tell/teach the childrens no problem any anything or very thing is no problem.Got problem is your problem.

Re: MOE hires grads from Indian unis as teachers but not SG grads with distance-learn

Yes, this has been the case.

An example would be both local applicants are from the same foreign university. One did his studies there and the other did it via distance learning. The government will consider the former 1st, simple because it was taken at the actual country.

This policy actuallly favours the richer one because he can afford to go overseas and we all know the rich are the policy makers.

if u ain't from NUS/NTU/SMU/IndianU, it is probably harder to get shortlisted by these scumbag ministries.

This one cannot blame MOE..............:o

But in general, I don't disagree with the situation that sinkies are now like 4th class, singles 5th class citizens.

...........However, I realise that the Govt authorities do not recognise my distance-degree when I apply jobs and my qualification is only recognised by the private sectors throughout my employment history. I were once laid off and applied to for relief teaching with MOE during that period and in fact, the authorities only recognised by local Polytechnic certificate and not my distance degree and I were paid as a non-degree rate while being a relief teacher in the govt schools. ..........

I think the issue here is NOT about the (a) heavy Indian slang, (b) degree fake or real, (c) their smell etc etc. The real issue here is our government had once again betrayed their own people. Why do we need cruel government who betrays?

39.9% have seen the light, while the 60.1% still have their head in their ass thats why we are still stuck with this shit.

Re: MOE hires grads from Indian unis as teachers but not SG grads with distance-learn

The first thing kids are going to learn from these Indian teachers is to say 'YES" with shaking of the head instead of nodding !

Oh man......this is going to really confuse the poor kids!
