Statistics on Teachers Who Joined Flexi-adjunct Teaching Scheme and Median Duration of Teachers on Scheme

Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Pritam Singh, Aljunied GRC

Question

To ask the Minister for Education from 2022 to 2024 (a) how many teachers have joined the flexi-adjunct teaching scheme from the General Education Service annually; and (b) what is the median duration of that time teachers remain on the flexi-adjunct scheme for each of these years.

Response

1. From 2022 to 2024, around 220 teachers on average were engaged as Flexi-Adjunct Teachers within 12 months of leaving the Education Service.

2. As the Flexi-Adjunct Teaching Scheme is a casual employment scheme, it is not meaningful to track the duration that teachers remain on the scheme.
