Ope look for top independent schools, those have the best wisdom in terms of staff well being

When you perform the duties like oral or marking, do they grade how u mark? Espnnow on screen marking.

It depends.

It's open secret that pay is higher, and more funds available.

Downside is that because pay is higher, people don't move, and progression is slow.

Also, expectations are much higher too, especially in terms of non-academic duties

Pay is actually the same.

Non-wage benefits may be slightly better, but think of that as compensation for the relatively inflexibility since you cannot move across different schools to take up leadership positions for example.

Sorry I’m a relatively new teacher and this is a noob question.

Should I apply for open or closed posting if I would like a change of school? For closed posting, will I be posted to a school that’s very far from me? For open posting, I get to choose the school that I’m interested to transfer to and then I’ll have to wait to be called for interview after applying through HRMS? How does it work? Please help!

The two are different times - open posting first then closed posting. Best to go for open posting so you can choose your school and have a feel of the school culture when you interview with the school leaders and HODs. Remember interviews are a two way street, the school may be interviewing you but you are also interviewing the school so to speak. If you fail to get a school at open posting, you can apply for closed posting. That's not the preferred option because you only get to choose a zone (north, south, east or west) and HR will just post you. All the best!
