MOE will work with Sped schools and social service agencies to form a pool of relief teachers who can step in when needed.Special education teachers will get more time off to go for training or step away for medical or urgent leave, as a pool of relief teachers will be developed, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Sept 10.
The careers of Sped teachers should be “as respected, as professionally enriching and as personally satisfying as being a mainstream teacher”, he said, “where Sped teachers and leaders can have the confidence that their progression and development will parallel that of our mainstream teachers as a system at the sector level, rather than just within a Sped school”.
“To be effective, this will be done collectively across the SSAs and Sped schools, rather than each school developing its expertise on its own,” he said. Mr Tay and Ms Denise Phua raised concerns about the physical risks posed to Sped teachers, and how to better protect them.
