My department has all KPs filled. ST SH LH whatever you can think of
It is understandable and definitely reasonable for a teacher to desire progression. In fact, it's weird if you are NOT driven. So what you feel is totally normal and valid.

However it is important to recognise that the teaching service has an enormous progression bottleneck at almost every level of management. If teacher to SH/LH/AYH/ST already feels like a tight squeeze, the HOD to VP bottleneck is asphyxiating. This is because of the way the hierarchy is structured, with certain levels having an extremely large number of people reporting to one manager. So while in the teaching service, you have to keep in mind that the vast majority of officers will never progress beyond normal teacher, because after all the normal teacher is the driving force that keeps the wheels of the system turning. This is to help keep your expectations realistic.
