Home > Membership > Benefits



There are two categories of STU membership:

1) Ordinary Branch (OB) Member
(Most Education Officers would belong to this category)
As an OB member of STU, you are eligible for all grievance-handling services, social, recreational and professional benefits provided by STU.

2) General Branch (GB) Members
(Education Officers like Principals belong to this category)
As a GB member of STU, you are eligible for social, recreational and professional benefits provided by STU. The only difference between the Ordinary and General Branch members is that we cannot represent the latter in matters related to terms and conditions of service.




STU membership brings you a host of benefits:

1) Assistance in work related matters

We have highly qualified staff to advise and assist you if you need advice on your terms and conditions of service and assistance with work-related problems.

2) Professional Activities

We also assist our members in their work as teachers by organising courses, workshops and seminars on professional issues. We believe that the Union can help our members keep abreast with the latest developments in teaching pedagogy and methods.
   
3) Other STU Activities

We organise a host of social, sporting and recreational activities for our members. These are advertised regularly in our newsletter "The Mentor" which is sent on a regular basis to your home.
4) NTUC Link Card

The NTUC Link Card, is your passport to a whole array of rebates, discounts and the privileges of membership of the NTUC Club.

More information is available on the NTUC Link website at http://www.ntuclink.com.sg/default.phtml
5) The Teachers' Centre

The Teachers' Centre (162 Tagore Avenue Singapore 787752) is located in the Teachers' Estate, off Yio Chu Kang Road. At the Teachers' Centre we have a Tennis Court, two Badminton Courts, a small Swimming Pool, Karaoke and Meeting Rooms.

There is also a café, which serves lunch and dinner, and a small pub.

6) Personal Accident Lite Plan
The STU PAL Plan is aimed at SUPPLEMENTING your other insurance coverage and providing you with the opportunity to extend this coverage to your family as well.  The premiums have been negotiated with AIG through STU to offer competitive and exclusive rates.  However, please note that this is an ‘opt-in’ plan where you may sign up by choosing either one of the following options.


There are also many other intangible benefits of STU membership; we hope that you will get to know more about the STU when you join us and participate in our activities.
