The Relief Teaching Scheme and Scheme for Relief Educators allows schools to employ relief teachers or relief educators to fill classroom vacancies on a short-term basis, where they will take on classroom teaching duties.
The Relief Teaching Scheme registers trained candidates (i.e. with a teaching qualification). Many of our former teachers are in our pool of relief teachers and continue to contribute their knowledge and expertise to the Education Service.
The Scheme for Relief Educators registers untrained candidates (i.e. without a teaching qualification). Besides meeting school’s temporary manpower shortfall, it provides an avenue for individuals who are interested in developing a challenging and satisfying career in the Education Service - but are unsure of their own suitability to be a teacher - to experience what it is like being a teacher.
