3. Selection process

Applicants may be required to complete an online video assessment after submission of application, and you will receive an email with the instructions if you are required to complete the assessment.  Shortlisted applicants will undergo the following concurrent processes, between July and December 2024, which may not take place in sequence:

• Selection interview
• Medical examination and 5-day MOE Kindergarten experience
• Entrance proficiency test (EPT)

Selection interview

If you are shortlisted for an interview, we will email you the interview details and the documents that you are required to bring for the interview. For candidates who are shortlisted for the Chinese/ Malay/ Tamil Language Kindergarten Teacher position, you will also be assessed on your proficiency in the specific Mother Tongue Language during the interview.

Given the high number of applications, applicants can expect to receive an update from us within 6 weeks of the close of the application window.

Medical examination and 5-day MOE Kindergarten experience

If you are further shortlisted after your interview, you will have to undergo a compulsory 5-day stint at an MOE Kindergarten. The purpose of this experience is to enable you to affirm your interest in teaching and for us to assess your suitability for the job.

The MOE Kindergarten experience is typically conducted between July and October.

Prior to the MK Experience, you will be required to undergo a medical examination, paid for by the Ministry, which may include the Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella vaccinations according to regulatory and prevailing guidelines adopted by the pre-school sector. Please go for the medical examination as soon as possible once the relevant instructions and details has been sent to you. In the meantime, you may wish to prepare proof of your vaccinations if you have been immunised.

We will inform you of the MK experience arrangements after we have received your medical report. To facilitate the process, we seek your assistance to update HR once you have attended your medical examination; instructions will be provided at a later date.

Entrance proficiency test (EPT)

You may be required to sit for certain EPTs at the Ministry's discretion. If so, we will email you the details of the test. This does not indicate that you are successful in your application.
