Quo Vadis Masters in Education at OUM?

So it looks like I will have to look to the September 2009 intake if I intend to take the M.Ed.

A new condition has now been made known to me.

Apparently, as I have no evidence of teaching for two years in the private sector, I will have to take the open entry route and that is to do the entry examination on 10th May. Time is not on my side for the examination as it is only 36 hours away. However, a lead time of three months is a good time as any to learn more about the M Ed. before actually doing it.

The other information that I have learned:

You must take 3 papers per semester
You must at least have a CGPA of 3.0 to move on to the next semester.
Even if you should fail any of the three papers per semester, you can still move forward if the combined CGPA grade of the other two papers is 3.0 and above
You can pay your fees by 3 installment each semester.

So all this new information is good for me and could be the tipping point for a positive consideration of the M Ed. in August 2009.

Rajan Takes Over

So GTG is always prepared.

If anyone of its teachers again should resign, there are many more on the backburner, I am sure! All ready to come on board. B Uch must be one fertile watering hole to GTG. Compliments and accolades to Celine.

Effectively, I stopped teaching on 29 April.

I have just been informed that a Mr Rajan has taken over from me to teach my EIEP class beginning 5 May. Good for him!

I do not know whether he is a full-time lecturer or a part- timer.

But whatever it is, I do hope he stays longer in GTG than I was able to do so.
