Teaching Jobs in Singapore

Given the fact that Singapore is literally an entire nation composed of a single city, the choices in the types of locations are slim. There are no “rural” areas of Singapore. However, there are decisions to be made about which part of the city individuals teaching in Singapore might want find a teaching job or decide to reside in.

The city itself is divided into 5 regions, North, West, North East, Central, and East, with schools being spread relatively evenly across each region. Each region is home to more than 500,000 people at minimum, but some regions, such as the North, are essentially suburbs and will be far less crowded on a daily basis than, say, the Central region, which is home to the city’s central business district.

Commute times to teaching jobs in Singapore can vary greatly depending on which region a teacher calls home and which region their teaching position is located in; although regardless of location, Singapore has a very modern and efficient public transportation system. As the island on which Singapore sits is only 25 kilometers wide from North to South and 45 kilometers from East to West, even the absolute worst commutes possible should take no more than 50 minutes.
