You can only compare apple to apple... not orange to apple.... School leaders have heavy administrative works... mostly vetting through content and leading the school strategic thrusts... more importantly, account for school decisions day in day out...

While HODs/SHs seem to have more ground works... leading and design department strategic plans... ground teachers work the most... designing and executing projects while juggling T&L....

Some teachers also feel the off-loading of 33% workload is not justifiable as they don't feel the extra admin works HODs/SHs carry allows them to shed off one teaching class...

Then HODs don't even have to take a CCA, some SHs may feel that both are doing similar admin works, why HODs can go to the extent to shed off one CCA...

Think of the broad picture... all in all... it's all about accountability.... as SLs, you need to be liable for the whole school and appreciate the depth of works each department run... be it IP or non-IP... from science laboratory practices to mtl in-lieu and to RAMs procedures in OBS.... it could be much easier if SLs just blindly approve any programmes/processes but all it takes is one mis-handling and everything will fall apart..
