Career as Teacher

Is there a difference in pay between Primary school and secondary school educator?

Approx how much does a NIE trainee teacher draw for Pri and Sec?

TIA.

no difference in pay, it depends on class of honours and whether served NS or prior work experience.

teachers in general are paid ok, wont be rich or poor. so join teaching if you are called or have the passion. according to moe webpage, fresh grad with no NS and pass degree get 3.1k.

however, did hear that it can be easier to promote in primary school. since there are 6 levels, pri 1-6, there are more opportunities to be assistant year head or year head of the different 6 levels.

I understand the mainstream employee in school are teachers. Any idea the salary of allied educator as compared to teachers of the same qualification? let say both joined as a degree holder. Will their pay be far apart if both progression is the same?

Will you be able to share with us about the projects & committees you were involved in?

You probably have not heard enough.

Furthermore SH is a 1A2 responsibility.

Acting SH doesn't impact promotion as it is not recongnised by HR.

There’s no reason for me to cook up a story.
That was really my career progression as a teacher.
Even my R.O. told me “do you know that you are promoted very quickly?”

I’m still in the education fraternity, just not with MOE anymore.

SH/LH is a SEO responsibility.
SH/LH is NOT a even a GEO5 responsibility, that’s why we are given responsibility allowance (RA) every year for taking on leadership role at a GEO level.
Get your facts right

Will a senior teacher at GEO5 be given the additional allowance also just like what SHs get at GEO5?

I would always have high respect for those people in education industries. i think this industry is kinda neglected and some aren't really being paid well.

Tuition is a good source of extra income on a teacher's extra time.
