As basic demand and supply goes, increasing people's purchasing power doesn't help to reduce inflation. That's why the govt doesn't give handouts to everyone willy-nilly.
Hence, don't be surprised if the outcome of the salary revision discussions go either way. After all, EOs are not considered to be a low income group that requires income support in trying times. At least not in the same way as OSOs, TSOs and also the lower ends of generic schemes.

Not insider but any HR would think about salary considerations should be primarily based on attrition and retention considerations, vis-a-vis what the market can offer. That said, teachers’ skills are not directly transferable to the larger market in general, so the longer you are in service, the less incentive is needed to retain you. It’s the same principle why connect payout peaks rather than increases all the way.
