Never heard of summa cum laude or mention très bien before?

Honours class doesn't determine promotion rate, at least not in the Education service.

Honours class does affect promotion rate because your entry CEP is based on your qualifications. A person with FCH is accessed to be more capable than someone with just a 3rd class honours or a pass degree.

But obviously also dependent on work attitude. If not enthusiastic about taking on higher load and responsibilities, and simply doing the bare minimum, then FCH will not make a difference.

Know of someone stuck for more than 14 years.

dont complain about too much work. some scholars not enough work want to flex about writing textbook lei

Bro don't stalk his social media leh...

The critical factor is the level of scholarship then follow by individual contributions and performance. Class of honours is not a critical factor.

Do other scholarships count? For example NTU Scholarship

Only the NTU-NIE TSP may help a bit. Other uni/faculty scholarships don't confer any special privileges.

The scholarships that really give you automatic accelerated progression are EMS and above. Of course, you must sustain the high performance and be able to deliver on your stretch assignments, otherwise you can still be relegated to the back bench as a high-tier scholar.

nothing better to do but stalk people on social media, no wonder ownself cannot get PSC scholarship or even high CEP, and so salty

sorry lor maybe i should write a textbook too
