Supportive environment yet high workload
Educational psychologist (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 11, 2022
Supportive and passionate colleagues. However the workload is high. It's not unusual to be working overtime, and it can be difficult to have work life balance.

Enriching and Collaborative
Project Coordinator (Former Employee) - Buona Vista - May 5, 2022
My experience in MOE was enriching as I have learnt a lot during my 2-year stint. They also have a collaborative environment where everyone shares ideas and is willing to help each other.

Great Career, but political
General Education Officer (Former Employee) - Singapore - June 10, 2021
The job and all is really good and fun. The kids are the best part of the job. It is just about your luck. If u end up in a good school, u will get good management, good parents, good people. Not fun at all if the school you had micromanage u. Diploma n degree holders do the same thing but degree holders get paid more despite their performance. A lil bit unfair.. Besides that I really enjoyed working there.
Pros
Benefits, good career progression, exposure
Cons
long hours, some micromanaging HODs/P/VP

Staff Welfare
General Education Officer (Former Employee) - Singapore - June 23, 2020
When I first started teaching in 1987, the staff was only treated to a Staff Dinner, once a year at a coffee shop. Over the years, the welfare of the teachers have been given more attention by the Staff Welfare Committee in each school as well as the MOE Sports & Recreation Club. In Rivervale Primary School, the Staff Welfare Committee organizes regular activities like breakfast, lunch, in-house shopping, exercises, games, art & craft, cooking and learning journeys.These staff bonding activities are the most enjoyable part of the job.
Pros
Engaging staff welfare activities
Cons
Do not like to take part in yoga and dancing

Strongly support from Admin Manager while working as a team in the office
As a admin staff, whenever there is any new system need to learn, Admin Manager will always support his subordinate by arranging training for them, it is very busy when working as a CSO in the office, we must be multi tasking, you don’t only respond to you work area, customer service is also important in school

Be adaptable to changes
Educator (Nutrition and Food Science) (Current Employee) - Singapore - February 18, 2020
If you are passionate about developing youths and teaching, this is a perfect platform. I do enjoy my job as an educator as I have been equipped with many skills and amazing colleagues with similar mindset. However, the pay structure is based on the qualification that you may initially start off with. The job scope may not be much of a difference between a diploma and degree holder.

Fast-paced, but fun workplace
Intern (Former Employee) - Singapore - February 5, 2020
My experience at Ministry of Education was overall fun. However, the workload during the last month was rather face-paced and I had to get used to programs that I have never done in order to finish the workload given.

MOE provided opportunities for training and professional advancement.
Head of Department (Former Employee) - Schools - January 16, 2020
All throughout the years we are being exposed to relevant courses to upgrade our professional skills to be effective teachers.
Management-wise teachers are given opportunities to be HODs to manage their own department. School managment meetings are held regularly to manage school affairs.

Great working with children, but not with the adults
Teacher (Former Employee) - Singapore - December 26, 2019
MOE helps its officers learn, however limiting the scope only to that of education. Officers can improve themselves in their job scope. However, limiting their experience.
Work hours are short, but it never ends as preparation starts when you leave the classrooms. There are other administrative work to be done on top of committee work and co-curricular activities.
Working with children in fun, and even fulfilling to see them develop into functioning young adults. However, it takes a lot of time and effort, physically, financially and emotionally for these to happen.
Management do not often recognise your efforts as they often see the results that students obtain at the end of the year. I was lucky to work with but unlucky to be assigned to underprivileged students in the "last"classes of each year. When you have lemons, you can only make lemonade, not french fries or a happy meal. Hence, after 20 years of slogging it out, i decided to call it quits and work elsewhere.`

Colleagues are generally friendly
Flexi Adjunct MOE Teacher (Former Employee) - Singapore - December 22, 2019
Generally you are left independently to teach. However, the school will impose additional duties, some of which may not be to your liking. Overall it is a comfortable job.
Pros
Colleagues are friendly
Cons
Not much room for independent thinking nor a willingness to accept new ideas

Educating (Former Employee) - West Singapore - December 7, 2019
It was an good experience working with pupils but being a young male teacher we r most frequently dealing with disciplinary issues n tail end classes which most female Teachers don’t have as their teaching classes. My passion for teaching in an MOE neighbourhood school has diminished over a decade flooded with non teaching duties
