:rotflmao: don't be too sure Liliac66. There's always a quiet before a storm. I have a funny feeling..... Because my crystal ball told me that the WWIII started somewhere else. Will eventually spread back here when the fighting dies down \"there\". Don't be too sad when that happens k? Being the sweet peaceful dear you are. I promise not to reveal my horns unless someone else draws First Blood, ok? :hugs: just take shelter, for it might be brutal! :nunchuk:

:rotflmao: Thanks for your warning! ok, I take cover first. :siam: Take care! Will be back next year. Hopefully things have died down by then.

WWIII leh. You can run, but you can't hide!

Are all teachers NIE trained before they teach in schools? I have seen teachers who taught for one semester and then the school announced that they are leaving for NIE for professional training so they are not certified teachers yet ?

Teachers are not NIE trained when they start teaching in schools...they are untrained teachers until the principals decide whether they deserve that chance. Some of these untrained teachers may never get that NIE training. This was what I heard from a reliable source :censored:

there you go spouting nonsense and rubbish again

:yikes: This is NEWS to me! All along I have the notion that only relief teachers are not NIE-trained.

Oops, thank goodness VK2010 is not here, or he'll scoff at this \"hearsay, hearsay again\" :rotflmao:[/quote]http://www.moe.gov.sg/careers/teach/career-info/training/

From the same website :


The Ministry of Education recruits teachers all year-round. Although you can apply to teach even if you have not taken or passed the relevant EPT, it is advisable that you register early for the test. Generally, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks to process your EPT application.

You will need to pass the EPT(s) for admission into NIE. If you fail to do so, you may be deployed to teach in a school as an untrained teacher while you register for the next EPT(s). However, passing the EPT does not necessarily mean that you will be short-listed for an interview or be admitted to NIE, as this will depend on other factors, such as meeting the entry requirements or your teaching performance in school.

Maybe existing teachers can provide further information. I learn a lot from all the fellow parents in this forum, there are so many ways to answer questions/discuss topics/verify or refute statements and most SAHMs will prefer the civilized way. Guess enough has been said …….

I am not spouting rubbish.

My cousin is a teacher, for goodness sake.
