I'll just assume the statistic itself is true - wonder where the extra manpower is going, then? Haven't really seen my total number of students, or number of teaching periods, going down in the past 10 years… or maybe my teaching subject is just suay.

It is quite simple, there is an excess of teachers for certain subjects and they have the luxury (or benefit) of being able to have co-teachers or banding for their lessons. Meanwhile other subjects are always short of teachers and needing to teach full classes

I’d say don’t quit first. Why not consider a post to HQ and do some office job? Maybe can change scheme to MX and not lose too much salary.

True words. If your first year as a SH or HOD in a school was hectic, HQ is three times worse even in the 'EO-friendly', 'non-chiongster' branches. In the chiongster parts of HQ, it's even worse than that. But you grow slowly from there lah, nothing wrong with feeling that it is xiong at first.
