Career as Teacher

Guess it varies for schools.
Last year, my school had more than 5 SE01 promotees and close to 5 SEO2 promotees. Plus around 5 each for GEO5. Plus other grades.

Then again, it has been some time we had close to 20 promotees . If previous years are very few, perhaps the next or year after will have more. It’s after all dependent on the officers and not the school.

in general teaching profession is a slow grind because its not a corporate kind of ladder

So slow that MOE is losing young talent to other ministries in civil service, with higher remuneration and better prospects.

Even then, there is a world of difference between the present, and pre-2015 (or pre-2010). The fact that there are first-career GEO3 officers in their mid-30s already makes the problem plain for all to see. GEO3 salary caps out at 5.6k, and we all know how GEO3 through 5 are essentially the same job in nearly all schools, once the officer is out of BT-ship.

You don't think, but there are.

That's why we say there is a problem. There exist GEO3s which are 33, 34, 35 y/o. Stuck at the same grade for upwards of 7 years. We are equally puzzled as to why this is allowed to happen. Anyone from HR can enlighten?

Do secondary school teachers have enough sleep/rest?
Other than lesson prep, there are other committee work and CCA.

What time you guys end work and rest?
