also, most normal teachers (non D graders) who have clocked around 10 years would probably see their salary almost doubled (after a pay rise of 5%) compared to their very first pay. this group knows deep down that it's hard to earn a similar amount elsewhere if they were to leave. go and ask your fellow FAJTs or even those who left for the tuition industry
hmmm but does this solve the root problem? i guess the phenomenon would just become “more younger teachers are leaving the service once they collect their 1st connect plan payout”.

also, FAJTs had their pay adjustment back in 2020. and the calculated hourly pay is actually higher than a normal teacher. not to forget that most FAJTs enjoy their work a lot more - hardly any misc or admin work to deal with.
