Agree that transparency is important to employees nowadays, and arguably also the fairest way to do things.

However, HR will never make CEP transparent until they overhaul the system. Revealing the inner workings of the current rotten system is a shot in their own foot. When officers start comparing CEP with one another, it will become embarrassingly apparent that the system is way too subjective and too heavily dependent on the whims and fancies of some senior managers, to ever be fair to the rank-and-file officers.

There was some talk a few years ago about replacing CEP with some "5-year career development plan", but that never materialised. Maybe it was a bit too fair in the eyes of some senior management and they could no longer use the system to play politics using the career prospects of their JHs

Are you a KP or TL? If not, you are operating at teacher level and your promotion will come at the 'market rate'.

CEP determines how often you could be promoted, but performance determines whether you are actually promoted at that point in time.

So your CEP may be high, but if you are only hitting the teacher KRAs then you might still be passed over for promotion. And if you wait long enough your CEP will gradually come back down to GEO5.

may i know what GEO is 1A3 12 years ago equivalent to ?

When the 2015 revamp came along, GEO1A3 mapped directly to GEO5.

But there have been a lot of changes recently so the equivalence is no longer so clear cut. It also takes many more years to hit GEO5 now, than to hit GEO1A3 back then.

Yups, except I am GEO3 though!

Does anyone know when the confirmation for OPE will come? Even the school that gave me an offer says they r waiting for HR’s approval. 😪
