Over the next few years, there will be an increase in the number of master teachers posted to MOE schools.
Master teachers are school teachers who spend their time on policy and coordination work at the national level. They are currently based in MOE’s headquarters, though they also spend time on school attachments to ensure that they keep up with class practices and other developments on the ground.
Master teachers play a critical role in sharing effective teaching practices in the classroom, prototyping new teaching methodologies and supporting policy and programmatic work related to teaching and learning at the national-level.
MOE intends to grow the number of master teachers, with the goal of eventually posting more than a hundred of them to schools to teach classes on a sustained basis.
Master teachers posted to schools will spend most of their time on teaching in the classrooms, co-planning and co-teaching lessons with fellow teachers, and leading professional development committees within the school and also at cluster and zonal levels.
