What's it like to be an Educator?
Educators play a big role in the development of students, young or old. An Educator aims to support students to learn more, and enhance their comprehensive and research skills for future endeavours, as well as for their personal growth and development. Educators work at different levels — from preschool and early childhood programmes to elementary, secondary, university, graduate, and doctorate classes.
Tasks and duties
- Planning, preparing, and presenting lessons.
- Guiding and watching over students in a classroom environment.
- Grading homework, quizzes, and other coursework.
- Organising the classroom while managing its operations and expectations.
- Coordinating activities and resources that fall under a specific area within the curriculum.
- Maintain an open line with parents regarding students’ progress.
- Preparing students for further education or for employment.
- Developing engaging and stimulating activities for effective learning.
How to become an Educator
There are different paths you can take in order to become an Educator in Malaysia.
- Take the Program Persediaan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PPISMP), a one-year preparatory course for all aspiring teachers, before entering the four-year Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP). The five-year programme allows graduates to teach at government primary schools across Malaysia.
- After taking your Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), you can also proceed to take up Matriculation for one or two years. After that, you can apply for a degree in education and be placed in secondary schools towards the end of your studies.
- If you did not achieve the required grades after taking SPM, you may also take up Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), an 18-month pre-university programme, before pursuing a degree in education.
- After acquiring the qualifications, you may take specialisation courses in the field of education you would like to pursue. This can be a master of arts degree, a short course, or workshops and training on the specific area of work.
