Hey HQ worker,

Appreciate the detailed response! It did provide some clarity to my rather peculiar situation.

Come to think of it, I did attend a tea session back when I was a BT at cluster level. Hmm, my then VP did inform me that it was indeed a session meant to assess the BTs.

Yes indeed. I do think that a stint at HQ will widen my perspectives on the educational landscape and provide insights to the system that I would not be able to learn in the school system. However, like you mentioned, 5 years is very long and if I may say, an "all-in" sort of commitment given my age has a lot of implications on my future.

Would be glad to share the outcome of my situation but it will be quite a wait! haha.

Is it standard procedure for officers to be posted back to schools after their HQ stint? I am concerned that a 5 year stint may cause my ability to teach degenerate :/ Not to mention that I will certainly miss teaching and working with my kids!
