With the amount of continual PSCs given out, the balance will be upset

Most of the senior management positions are already filled by scholars. I have come across a good number of young SLs, many of whom are groomed to take on the roles in their mid 30s. Their paths are pre-determined, because they are deemed to have higher potential/aptitude given their ability to…study. Because of that, there is a bottleneck situation. Imagine that they will be an SL for 20-30 years, how many hods can progress further. That limits the career advancement of aspiring new teachers.
There are things in the pipeline to TRY to resolve this, but…it doesn’t solve the root cause. While they can claim all they want that everyone stands an equal chance, we know that farmers likely remain as farmers.
With that said, some scholars are also capable individuals who can really make a positive impact on schools given their long runway. However, many are capable policy warrior who lack empathy.
