SINGAPORE: After trying twice and failing to get a degree from the National University of Singapore , a man decided to pose as an NUS graduate anyway in a job application for a teaching position.
Xie began working as a full-time Mathematics and English teacher for Kewo Education in August 2017 and befriended a superior who later told him of a part-time teaching position at Ascensia International School . A human resources executive at AIS was assigned to process Xie's application. When she asked Xie to sign a document called"Lecturer Declaration Form and Verification of Certificate Authenticity", he hesitated and asked if he could use his A-Level certificate instead of the NUS one.
