Part-Time Lecturers (PCL) [NIE]
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
Part-Time Lecturers at NTU’s National Institute of Education are expected to teach assigned courses, prepare lessons and learning materials, conduct classes, assess student work, and provide academic guidance. Candidates would typically hold a relevant postgraduate qualification or substantial professional expertise, along with teaching or training experience in the subject area. Strong communication, classroom-management and digital-learning skills are valuable. Applicants should be able to work with diverse learners, meet teaching and assessment deadlines, and follow NIE and university academic policies. The appointment is part-time and may depend on course demand, timetable availability and the lecturer’s specialist background.
Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment Pass: SGD 5,600+ a month at 23 (6,000 from January 2027), more with age, plus 40 COMPASS points; a degree from a top-tier university scores 20 of them.
Before you apply: Schools want a degree and often a teaching qualification, and some places license teachers before you can teach: schools maintained by councils in England, and schools in Hong Kong, New Zealand and Thailand. Ask which licence your post needs.
Watch for: The post is usually advertised to locals for 14 days first; teacher aides and infant caregivers in licensed childcare centres are on the Work Permit list for South Asians and Filipinos since September 2026.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: COMPASS points framework. Checked November 2026.
