Teachers from India join S'pore schools

TEACHERS from India are being recruited to teach here, not just for the Indian Mother Tongue languages but also for subjects such as English, history, geography and economics.

At least 70 of them have been hired in the last four years, with another 10 due here later this year, said a recruitment agency in India engaged by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

'In Kolkata, students listen to you and the class is quiet. It's not the case here so it's a bit of a culture shock,' said one Mr Vivek Mukherjee, now in Chestnut Drive Secondary for a 10-week stint. He is on a full scholarship to earn his Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Education
