Hi,

Could anyone help me out here?
I’ve been shortlisted for the interview in Oct to teach secondary levels though I had originally requested for Primary levels.

Does anyone know how long this entire selection process will take and whether the teaching stint will definitely be starting in Mid Dec?

From some of timeline of earlier applications, it can take (maybe) 2 months or more until you receive your letter of appointment

It is written in the appendix that early feb 2020 is the next teaching stint

I actually read the online process that says mid Dec but was just wondering if they can really finish the selection process by then.

Probably cannot finish, government agencies usually don't rush their applications. For last year's august application, their teaching stint was in Feb.

Haha thx for the quick reply! For some reason, I felt that the timeline for this batch is so rushed. My interview will be in a weeks time, so different from the timelines of the past batches.

By the way, does secondary school also require you to teach 2 subjects?

It varies, depending on the available slots they have too. I had a friend whose interview is 5 days after receiving the call. Mines 2 weeks.
