VISA Meet | 12th September 2024 | A Report
Mr. Ramesh Raja | Singapore
[BA & MA Tamil in MCC]
Dear All,
Thank you for participating in today’s VISA – ‘Virtual Interaction with Scholars Abroad’ Episode # 7.
Mr. Ramesh Raja who did his BA and MA in Tamil with us in MCC, spoke on his teaching experience in Singapore.
‘Singapore is a land of safety and security, and it’s a jewel from heaven come down, said Mr. Ramesh Raja’, elaborating on life in Singapore.
‘There are no recommendations for any postings in Singapore. According to your talent, you will be absorbed in any sector’, said Ramesh.
‘There’s a lot of demand for teachers in Singapore, but a B.Ed Degree is mandatory to get into school teaching’, he said.
On Higher Education in Singapore, he said that, ‘Singapore gives the provision for students to work part-time while doing their degree programme. Five Singapore Universities are among the top #100 in World Rankings, he observed, and added that, there is a great demand for good Professors in Universities there. No kind of recommendation works in Singapore, as merit is valued there’, he said.
‘As regards applying for your PhD programme, the only criteria they expect from you is to clearly outline the objectives of your research. This can get you even scholarships and stipends’, he added.
‘After your Degree, doing a technical course / Value-added course / Diploma Course helps in enhancing job prospects in Singapore’, he said.
Ramesh also said that he would help students of MCC to contact the right person, as regards their higher studies or placements, if they get in touch with him. (He has also given his email id and contact no).
Mr. Sabarinathan did the MC, and Mr. Abraham read out the College Prayer. Dr. Paul Prabhu Santharaj, Head, Dept of Tamil, welcomed the gathering. Dr. Sebulon Prabu Durai introduced the speaker of the day and coordinated the Q & A.
We shall meet again next week, on Wednesday, 18th September 2024, on our next edition of VISA.
Thank you.
