Teachers not allowed to moonlight soon...

No. That would be a conflict of interest
But in real life, as long as no one complain ............
what happen if during the tuition class, the teachers give the students "special tips".
special ones so that the students can score!
No peasant should complain about a conflict of interest when you already have scandals: AIMS, Brompton bikes, sex-for-contracts, sex-for-grades, the NTUC... and all taking place under a father-to-son political system.
The cartoon was what happened to my nephew previously.
He joined the Wushu CCA and was said to be doing very well and often praised by the China coach. After 6 months, the coach say, my nephew needs more training but can only improve if he goes to the coach external classes (need to pay extra).
My brother say it is okay and just wanted the son to enjoy. The next time you know, my nephew was not chosen for any performance and sidelined from many things.
No wonder why this ah tiong just teaching wushu can drive BMW 5 series. He must be milking a lot of money from parents.

Thanks to a cartoon article, the MOE is finally doing something.
Released on Oct 8

Ya, that's my concern.
civil servants are not allowed to have 2nd job. thats in the contract no? only mps are exempt which is another can of worms. dont understand what there is to look into
This was a stupid provision by MOE to start with. How do they even enforce the 6 hours a week limit? They have never done so. It is all left to teachers' integrity to declare when they give tuition. How many teachers bother to declare? How many declare the actual tuition hours?
And when it comes to moonlighting, it is not only tuition that teachers are involved in. There are a growing number of teachers who start a business outside and remain in their teaching positions as it is still very much an iron rice bowl. So the teaching salary provides them with the buffer to take some risks and try out some other business outside. This has been exacerbated by the very generous MOE provision that allows a teachers to take up to 6 months no-pay leave for any reason. There are teachers who use this leave scheme to start up something outside. There are even those who quit to start up a business outside and when the business stabilises, they rejoin the teaching service as contract teachers and enjoy dual income streams. Guess where the focus and attention of such teachers will be?

A policeman grumbled to me,"If teachers can give private tuition, why cannot policemen moonlight as security guards." He has a point.
the actual question should be: how on earth does the teacher find the time to give tuition?
seen a teacher at work? this is what i gather from friends and acquaintances alike.
1. administration: ranging from daily attendance taking to collection of MCs, letters of excuses etc, letters for CCAs, CCA payments, chasing students for fee payments.
2. CCA duties: once a week, not inclusive of meetings with trainers/vendors to discuss schedule, GeBiz for tenders, budget planning, logistic planning, etc.
3. marking: tonnes of it. generally 4 classes of 40 scripts/class per homework given.
4. meetings: staff meeting, level meeting, committee meeting, CCA meeting, Learning Circles or Professional Development meetings, meetings with vendors for CCA, meeting parents.
5. preparation: lesson planning for lesson delivery, slides/videos/worksheets, etc.
6. project involvements: no thanks to something like WITS project in the army, the education fraternity also embarked on silly projects like these.
7. teaching: handling 40 kids at the same time is never easy, so they said
given that all of us spend 24hrs a day, my friends from the education sector don't seem to have a life :p
Well, the teachers can moonlight in other more interesting ways.
Er Laksa, you mean the young and sweet female ones issit? How about the old hags, moonlight as.......?
lianbeng not surprised even if they are standing by the roadside in Geylang Road after office hours!
Then roleplay in bed as a school discipline mistress and a naughty boy who needs to be stripped naked and whipped on stage during school assembly.

How do teachers find the time?
If something is profitable enough you MAKE the time!
then you mean teachers should've gotten a higher pay? they're already the highest paid compared to their counterparts from over the world. unless you're saying the teachers in Singapore should be paid the combined salaries of the teachers in USA, UK, PRC, Germany, France and where else?
Why the fucking double standard ?
If ministers and elites can hold so many directoships so why can't the normal joe and jane do the same earning from sidelines ?

What a joke that the immediate relation that teachers may not be able to moonlight is ....MONEY. Singapore is all about MONEY, like... RIS is all about "ME"!
