3. Selection process

Applicants may be required to complete an online video assessment after submission of application, and you will receive an email with the instructions if you are required to complete the assessment. Shortlisted applicants may undergo the following concurrent processes, between July and December 2026, which may not take place in sequence:

• Selection interview
• Medical examination
• 5-day MOE Kindergarten experience
• Entrance proficiency test (EPT)

Selection interview

If you are shortlisted for an interview, we will email you the interview details and the documents that you are required to bring for the interview. For candidates who are shortlisted for the Mother Tongue Language Kindergarten Teacher position, you will also be assessed on your proficiency in the specific Mother Tongue Language during the interview.

Medical examination

You may be required to undergo a medical examination, paid for by the Ministry, which may include the Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella vaccinations according to regulatory and prevailing guidelines adopted by the pre-school sector. Prior to the medical examination, you may wish to prepare proof of your vaccinations if you have been immunised. You will be contacted with instructions regarding the medical examination.

Please go for the medical examination as soon as possible to facilitate the reviewing and processing of your application.

5-day MOE Kindergarten experience

If you are further shortlisted after your interview, you will have to undergo a compulsory 5-day stint at an MOE Kindergarten. The purpose of this experience is to enable you to affirm your interest in teaching and for us to assess your suitability for the job.

The MOE Kindergarten experience is typically conducted between August and October.

Entrance proficiency test (EPT)

You may be required to sit for certain EPTs at the Ministry's discretion. If you are required to take any test(s), you will be notified accordingly. Please note that receiving an email notification to sit for the EPT does not imply selection for appointment.
