Like SH, LH and then from there if possible progression to HOD. Do note that these days, most KPs are plateau at HOD level.

But nonetheless promotion is coming for you. You will hit SEO grades with much higher salary cap.

SH, LH can hit SEO 1 of 9k max salary cap.

HOD can hit SEO 2 of 10k max salary cap.

Whereas a HOT can only hit GEO 5 of 7.84k max salary cap. The salary differences between GEO and SEO was much lower but this changed when they revised the salary scheme in 2015 prior to the 2015 GE.

Wah so little? Leadership track some more leh. If non leadership must eat grass already.

Non leadership track, aka teaching track. The max salary of GEO 5 capped at $7845.

But if one aspires to climb, there is Senior Teacher with a max salary of SEO 1 capped at $9k.

If you are coming into teaching for the money, you won't last. You can earn more outside. If you want money, then should go into sales or those mega franchise

NS also counts as teaching experience and increments will be given. Then depending whether you are Degree or PGDE, further increments will be included during and after your training.

1st class /2nd upper honours guys can get around $4k. Both have the same starting bracket.

Be contented.. There are some who earn lesser than EOs.
At least teaching is a very meaningful job.. If I can be accepted for the job, I will be very happy. Can teach those low ability students and help them pass their exam. Sad to say, not many people have the opportunity to or are accepted.

When can a BT apply for open posting?

Very hard to feel contented when you need to eat crappy canteen food everyday leh

Grass is always greener on the other side. There are people who wants to get into teaching but there are also people who wants to get out of teaching. Definitely need more than passion to sustain this job.
