im quite similar to you. mummy too.
may i know if you are promoted to geo 4? do you get to do enhanced posting exercise?

Know of 3 people leaving. 2 within short notice, 1 by end of this year. All within same department.

Amazed at how much shortage there already is, that things are about to get worse and what's worst is that there are still no new incoming replacements. No vacancies for more FAJT too.

Waiting to see a vicious cycle of resignations start.

All the people I know will get promoted to GEO4 before in the year before posting out so that they are eligible for enhanced posting. You may want to ask your DD or D if you can extend 1 year and see if you are slated for promotion next year before you get posted out? Else, you can only go back as normal teacher.

Is the problem management issue within the department or really the workload of the teaching subject itself?

It is the brutal cutting down of nationwide EO headcount without any corresponding cutting down of workload. The job scope of a teacher continuously gets wider and wider with no abatement in sight.

Not eligible. EPS is for KP roles; hard requirement to go for cluster panel interview and to be appointed a KP is GEO4. You can use Open Posting to seek a school to take you in as a teacher, but express your aspirations to the P during the interview and get a sensing of the opportunities available from the way the P responds to your statements.

From my understanding only certain CS teachers are reduced while the ministry is constantly hiring for CS like EL, music, MTL.

And like you say it’s a particular department. Why only that department?

It's not a given that you will get GEO4 before posting out of HQ.

Example:
2 years in first school -> open posting to HQ -> serve 2 out of 3 years in HQ: at this point in time you are only 4.5 YOE. Vast majority of 4.5 YOE non-scholars and award holders/local scholars will be at GEO3 and will need another couple of years to hit GEO4.

Im throwin nxt mth

What’s your next destination?

Is it true that after teaching for 10 years, one would be eligible to further studies and not have to pay for the fees at all? Can study any masters?

And PE. My school got 2 new PGDE and 1 FAJT for PE.
While I'm the still the 'newest' SS teacher. I've been in this school for 5 years. LOL.

Officially the numbers are in excess. Always in excess when you ask P. Sigh

You become eligible for PD leave with pay. However, unless you successfully got yourself a postgrad scholarship, you got to pay for itself

If promoted, is annual increment and merit imcrement the same?

If promoted you will get a "big" increment. The "big" increment consists of two components added up together:
1) the merit increment, which is the default April increment that you get every year as long as you don't get a D grade or hit the ceiling;
2) the promotion increment

If not promoted, you only get a merit increment (component 1).

Does anyone know if an officer's CEP is raised in N year, promotion will not happen in N+1 year? Heard this from RO when at HQ, not sure whether it is true or BS.

Also, if CEP review and dicussion during ranking is supposed to be phased out wef from this year, whats supposed to be the new process & structure in determining promotion?

whom boss likes lor. u all asked for it

in particular naive teachers who thinking working harder or implementing a small thing in school well means the same as running a dept in hq which determines systemic outcomes foe a whole system

hahahah. like teachers are very marketable. they are not. maybe those who just finished bond from nus, smu etc are. the BAs from NIE much less so. tuition doesn’t pay that much for the average, it’s an industry with obviously has superstar effect

i heard that now the undergrads in NIE seem to be more marketable? like they are offered a double major or something? like its not purely just education now hmmm

Which explains why we have so many colleagues who hang on there till the end

You're referring to the boomer deadweights who are coasting because they want to be "HOT"?

for the first qn, and if i am to believe the hint given by my P last year, yes. it’s possible to be promoted N+1 year coz i got promoted this year.

not many people able to give u an answer for the second qn though.

I didn’t rec any info means didn’t get promoted le? Hai.
Covered for HOD yet nothing. So tired. feel like I’m being overworked for nothing.

2016 GEO 4
2021 KP appointment. B.
2022 c+
2023 B

I am so drained.

How much does jc teacher earn

same scale as primary and secondary school teachers la!

merit increment
 

understand that merit increment is not tied to pb

so how much merit increment usually for geo 3?
like +2%

Ex MOE teacher can charge around $70 or more for sec sch, and at least $100 for math or jc subject.

To hit $7k a month, which is more than what most ordinary teacher earns, just need to work 100h a month, or 25h a week. Roughly 2-3 students every day for 1.5h sessions. Very doable. Just get from agent if doing 1-1. Should be able to scale up to conduct group tution or even tuition classes and earn even more.

Maybe might not earn as much as SLs, but can definitely earn a very comfortable salary given the shorter number of hours put in. Not everyone places thier priorities on money'. Think nowadays all the young teachers have plenty of choices from what I see.

How to check increment if promoted? Must wait till 12 april?

It's out. Can check on hrp

Very laggy now, not loading for me

Which section should you go to check it? Salary revision letters is not loading properly for me. It's blank.

It should be under “Pay Advice and Related Statements”

Which section exactly? Don’t see anything leh

It’s not that CEP review will be phased out but rather, it’s only reserved for those deemed with highest potential. You will only be awarded a CEP after hitting a certain grade and assessed to be able to take on a higher grade (e.g., SEO2) one day.

You need to go to hrp, pay advice and related statement. The new pay and salary range for substantive grade is reflected at the top. Workpal does not have the information

I've been trying HRP, nothing is coming out for me. Anybody having the same issues?

Some of my friends can't log in too... But I tried it a few minutes ago and it's stil showing for me.

It doesn't show anything when I use laptop, but it shows up when i access HRP website via mobile phone.
