Singapore is experiencing a concerning trend of resignations among special education teachers, with approximately one in ten leaving the profession between 2021 and 2025, according to Minister for National Development Desmond Lee. This resignation rate is significantly higher than that of mainstream educators in Singapore, where roughly one in fifty teachers resign. The disparity highlights potential challenges within the special education sector, possibly due to workload, support, or career development opportunities. This development raises concerns about the quality and continuity of education for students with special needs in Singapore. Authorities are likely to address this issue soon to ensure sufficient staffing levels. Further investigation is required to identify the root causes of these resignations and implement effective retention strategies.
