2) C grade is for people who perform at their job. It sounds unpleasant. But the number of hours spent teaching your students/consultations/competitions are all already paid to you in your salary. Don’t complain that others can wayang better. If you want to stand out, then prove to everyone that you are doing more. Use social media. Use the internet. Dont think small. But how many are willing to other than complain?

There's some misconception here as well. Promotion has slowed for average performers, but it's still quite fast for strong performers. I have been at my school for 10+ years and have seen plenty of 2-3 year promotions from GEO 3 to 4, and 3-4 years from GEO4 to 5. GEO5 to SEO1 and SEO1 to SEO2 usually longer but there's also some who get it in 3-4 years per grade. Not scholars, just good performers.
In a way the system is actually correcting itself? Gone are the days of just cruising and getting promoted, but if you are a consistently strong performer and your school KPs/SLs aren't toxic, chances are you will be recognized and get promoted.
