So why should someone who is a mid career switch get promoted faster when there's no difference in the qualities?
Most mid career switchers took a paycut to join teaching. So they have to sacrifice financially to prove their worth for about 2 yeara, during the untrained stint + NIE.. and then you expect them to be compensated like fresh grads? At the end of the day, their salary would be match that of fellow teachers of their age.

The fact that you’re questioning the ministry’s decision about this reflects that you lack the ability to understand the value of professional wisdom and maturity. Probably come back in 18 years and ask your older self if you’d settle for a job with fresh grad salary and pace of promotion.

I for one would pay a professionally wise mid career switcher more than a genZ who plasters their students’ composition on tiktok.
