Debated in Parliament on 3 Jul 2023.
Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Education (a) whether the Ministry allows the re-employment of teachers with C-grades under the performance management system of stacked ranking for teachers; and (b) if not, why not.
In line with Public Service re-employment guidelines, retiring Ministry of Education (MOE) teachers will be offered the option of re-employment if they are medically fit to continue working, have good conduct and shown consistent satisfactory performance with no more than one "C-" performance grade in the last three years. MOE is also prepared to re-employ teachers with two "C-" performance grades prior to retirement, if supported by their Principals.
