addressing high attrition rate doesnt mean reduce it to zero totally. there'll still be teachers who leave no matter how much incentive you throw at them. so it's more of retaining those who're tempted by slightly better work conditions + remuneration outside of the industry. as long as the attrition rate is reduced or 'managed', it's good enough.

bear in mind too, 4 years after service is probably the common period where teachers moved on to their phase of life: marriage/having kids/own BTO flat, so that lump sum of 25k+ (vs 15k) and more if they endure for another 3 years (28k), is a strong pull factor.
