Anyone applied for BA / BSC (Ed)?

I'm a mid-career and applied BSC (Ed) back in February 2019. Went for the interview and the necessary tests. Still waiting for the outcome. Anyone in the same boat with me?

Oh thanks! Yes, they should be able to produce an mc but I’m just afraid I might miss anything important from the itp.

its okay. the itp is more of introduction to teaching and what to expect during ur contract teaching. probably can ask ur classmates to help take notes or keep handouts for you.

It says "in process" still. I guess it's a long stringent process. Received my Math Qualifying Test result 2 weeks back. Orientation for BA/BSC (Ed) should start in 2nd week of July. Shall call MOE up if no news from them by first week of July.

So MOE hasn’t gotten back to you? I Would think that E transcript isn’t enough, the HR lady told me that the document has to show that “you have graduated from blah course with honours”. But I’m sure we do not have any of such documents till convocation. Any other fresh grad applicants can shed light on this? Thanks!

Not yet... I’ve emailed back and forth a few times and all they tell me is that there have been cases where undergrads are able to request an early release of their results. I’ve asked my school and they say that’s not possible.

Hi everyone!

I have received an interview for Math (Sec) and Social studies!

Was wondering if anyone else received the same thing?

Also, any tips for the interview? Cheers!

My interview will be next week for English (Sec) and Literature. So nervous!

I'm not the person you replied to, but I received an SMS on 21 June, stating that they will call me the next day. Got the call as scheduled, then they'll ask you to confirm the teaching subjects you applied for. After confirmation, they'll give you an interview slot and ask whether you will be able to make it (it sounds like they're flexible and will offer you alternate slots if necessary). They'll then send you a comprehensive email listing the documents you need to bring and what you'll need to prepare (the 5 min teaching presentation, etc).

Hope you get your interview slot soon! My guess is that they're probably processing the applications in batches.

hello! don't worry so much about the content of your teaching, but i think most importantly they are looking for patience and how you engage the "students"! sometimes they'll make things difficult for you so be prepared for that!

In my case, I was tested more on the content. There was no disturbance frm the panel at all. Instead they raised hands n asked qns and after the 5 min was over, quite a few qns were asked on my content. So I wld say, depending on the panel, to be on the safe side, be prepared for both class mgmt and content.
