STEP 1: BOOK YOUR TRAVEL

Before registering for the Forum, you will need to book your travel to and from Singapore Changi Airport

For participants traveling internationally to Singapore, we advise that you arrive before 2pm (local time) on Tuesday, 12th May and depart after 7pm (local time) on Thursday, 14th May to ensure plenty of time for airport and hotel transfers . 

For participants receiving travel support from Teach For All to attend the Forum, please book your ticket via our travel agency partner, Key Travel. Refer to the instructions in this link for how to do so. 

  • All travel booked through Key Travel will be on an economy fare. If you wish to upgrade, you will be able to pay for the difference through Key Travel. If you wish to extend your stay, and this has a higher cost than the recommended arrival and departure dates, you will also be able to pay for the difference through Key Travel.
  • Participants should arrive before 2pm (local time) on Tuesday, 12th May and depart after 7pm (local time) on Thursday, 14th May.
  • If you have any questions, you can contact Key Travel at teachforall@keytravel.com.

Unless otherwise agreed upon, all Teach For All Staff will be paying for their flights to and from Singapore from their own team budgets. 

  • Please make your own booking arrangements in compliance with the Teach For All travel policy. You should plan to arrive in Singapore any time on Monday, 11 May.

STEP 5: REVIEW LOCAL TRANSPORTATION AND HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

Medical and travel insurance

  • Teach For All is unable to provide travel or medical insurance to network partner staff, and cannot provide support, intervention, or assistance in the case of medical or other emergencies (not limited to situations involving crime, accidents, natural or man-made disasters, or political unrest). 
  • Please ensure you or your organisation provides coverage that matches your needs and preferences, and bring a copy of your policy while travelling.

Transportation during the conference

  • Public transport to/from the Airport is very reliable and easy to use in Singapore. We encourage people to take a taxi, which is readily available at the airport in a clearly marked area by the arrival hall. If you take a taxi, please request one that accepts credit cards in the event you don’t have local currency. 
  • For transportation to and from the Forum Venue and elsewhere, we highly encourage you to download the Grab app, which is similar to Uber, Bolt, or other car ride services. Drivers are very quick to respond and this mode of transportation is very safe and reliable in Singapore. 
  • Transportation to and from locations included in the final Forum agenda, will be provided.
