Description
This Ministry of Education dataset counts teachers in Singapore's secondary schools from 1981 to 2024, broken down by sex and school type. Each row combines a year, sex and school type with the number of secondary school teachers, allowing users to trace both the overall growth of the teaching force and the long-standing gender composition of the profession. Counts are taken as at 31 December each year, except before 1996 when they refer to June, a break users should keep in mind when comparing across that boundary. Education researchers, unions and workforce planners use the series to study teacher supply, pupil-teacher ratios and staffing patterns across school types in Singapore.
