Depends on your SLs. Most schools hold promotion ceremony in mid to late April.

Anyway, if one finds that he/she is stuck in subgrade (for degree holder), it might really be the management issue. A red flag and indicator to move elsewhere.

There is a big difference between:

- you spent 4 years as a GEO3 before you got GEO4
- you got GEO4 in your 4th year of trained service

First one is average.

Second one is fast.

i am just a few bucks away from the ceiling for 3 and i didnt get promoted. and i got a B for pb this yr

At least for me it is.
Bring home less than 2k/mth. 😵

So when I see those who are earning 2-3 times more than me complaining,
I get more demotivated.
Im just thrash in the school.

I’m also a Dip. Ed teacher. Don’t despair. This is how my career has been.
July 2009 - 2010: In my very first school at GEO2A1 (I think so)
2011: Promoted to GEO2A2

2012 - 2015: Maternity leave and extended NPL
June 2015: Came back at GEO2, another school (MOE changed the appointment scale and hence became a GEO2 according to pay scale)
Performance grade C, B, B+ for the 3 years

April 2018: Promoted to GEO 3
Performance grade C+, B+ for year 2018 and 2019

April 2020: Just received news of my promotion to GEO4.
