outlook for teachers |

Seventy-seven
teachers were more than happy to work during their
year-end school holidays last year. But they did
not spend their time in school. Instead, they were
attached to over 30 organisations in both the private
and public sectors, such as banking, e-learning,
IT, law, tourism and hospitality.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) introduced the
Teacher Work Attachment scheme to provide opportunities
for teachers to broaden their experiences, enrich
their teaching and ultimately enhance their pupils’ learning.
The teachers can choose the organisations they wish to be attached to for one
to four weeks. The attachments can be done locally or overseas, in either private
or public sector organisations. Teachers can apply for attachments during the
school holidays or term time.
The teachers who participated have found the experience beneficial and have posted
their reflections on the MOE Intranet. For a first-hand account of two teachers’ experience,
