May i know all the possible pathway for me to become a teacher in malaysia (primary/secondary school)? my highest qualification is a level. should i get a degree first or get into teacher's training college straight away? is there any difference?

and can anyone teach me how to read this?

can explain ?

teaching in malaysia is kind of hard to get i guess,
because according to my knowledge, i remember that not much of the people get the teaching institute after SPM~

pathway to teacher:

1) institut perguruan (after spm, male can get it easier)
2) degree teaching (in public uni)

I have a level, can i get into teaching degree in public uni?

Someone i knew. Degree in science. After grad, work as a guru sandaran tak terlatih. Near PRU, gov pancing undi by announcing they will be offered a permanent position. Offered diploma perguruan,majoring in kemahiran hidup. Posted n now teaching murid2 khas, those who cant hear/speak.

Your case, try to get a diploma in teaching. Study in maktab perguruan got a better chance then in public uni.

i am not sure whether A-level can get into a teaching,
but i heard before some with science/subject degree, then diploma in education through some maktab....

Means that I should get a degree first and then only go maktab perguruan? If I take a bachelor degree in education in IPTA I will have a lesser chance to become a teacher?

im a malaysian and i wish to apply for a teaching degree (chemistry) in UPSI. Can i apply using my a level results? If yes, is there any other way to apply to UPSI besides through UPU , the application through UPU is closed ( for September 2015 intake).

A level?...chances is 0.01%... and not because of your a level or result.

You should've applied usm. Now closed already. better luck next year!

Any alternative way?
why upsi cannot

why?

UPU is the only option for IPTA unless for master or PhD. correct me if im wrong.

There are two different intakes for upsi, one is through Upu and another one is through the uni itself ( correct me if I'm wrong), do I stand a chance in either way?

Can I teach science or chemistry if I take dpli/kpli after my degree in the related field?

Anyone can help?

Anyone can help?

hmm i thought u could only apply to local uni with qualifications like stpm , stam, diploma and matriks?

Yes.

But this path is not guaranteed

And whenever you get posting it is not guaranteed too you will get to teach what you specialise at. It depends what subject teachers the school lacks.

I have known a lot of teachers who till their retirement have yet to teach what they specialised.

Which path is guaranteed?I have a levels but not stpm

IPG, which you are not eligible if you have A-Level. Sorry.

Which path should I take?

either u cont study to master and teach at college (which still have chem subject) or use ur SPM apply into UPSI

What do you mean?

Your current option would be to be a teacher in private school. Applying for government posts is not very possible for you anymore. KPLI is not a guaranteed path but it perhaps is worth some try.

apply for wat at UPSI? diploma or foundation? how many years total until i get a degree?

if i apply to IPG using my SPM results? how many years it takes for me to get a degree?
teaching in private school needs an education degree also right?

IPG has an age limit. Maximum age is 19 or 20, if I am not mistaken.

IPG/UPU always have age limit, unlike private universities.

Teaching in private universities don't necessarily require an education degree although having one is definitely much safer, but then teaching in private schools do not need a teaching certificate from government. You can get TESL from any IPTS and still teach in any place, just not in government places like secondary schools.

thank you very much for your help

Most intakes for IPTA are closed for now. Better luck next time.

For A levels, chances are low.

the age limit for pismp is 20, I'm 20 years old and 6 months at the next intake, is it ok?

Chance is very slim as priority will be given to younger ones. But I guess you can give a try.

i see, but there is PPISMP and PISMP, PPISMP is equivalent to foundation (1 year), can i apply straight for PISMP (4 years)?

its too late already. upu registration closed at 4 april. a-level can only apply for private university. upsi is a public uni.

if i study master of education in IPTA, is there a high probability that i will be posted in primary or secondary school?
currently doing my degree in private uni

It is possible but the chances is not high as preference will be given to those in IPG. Lots of my friends are still waiting for posting despite graduating from UPSI two years ago. And since it is announced recently that they will freeze employment of new government servant, I guess your chances is much slimmer.
