The teaching profession forms a large chunk of the civil service. However, there has not been much discussion about teacher's salaries. How much will a teacher/Subject head/HOD earn, in general, at the age of 30, 35 & 40? By the way, teachers are traditionally the KING of Whiners. U only need to recall how frequent you hear your friends who are teachers complain about the long working hours, heavy workload, recalcitrant students, unreasonable parents...just to name a few. And they get defensive and annoyed when others comment that they get to enjoy school holidays.

Before you classify teachers as whiners, please go talk to someone who understands the work of a teacher in Spore. Your comments are unfair and do injustice to the teaching fraternity. No I am not a teacher, in case you think I am one of the "whiners". I am work in energy trading related industry, and truth be told, I think being a teacher is tougher despite my P&L reponsibilities and sometimes, longer working hours.

Ask yourself, can u wake up at 5.45am everyday, teach (students if you are lucky, do scold you CCB occassionally) then do alot of stupid non value adding project groups, be in charge of an ECA (or CCA as they call it now), bring kids for excursions, reach home at 6pm, only to start marking scripts/workbooks/prepare lesson plans till 10pm. During the June/Dec hols, these poor sods are supposed to work as well, doing projects, attend workshops for self improvement etc. Beyond that, teachers are also role models for students, so they have to be morally and ethically upright...can you take all these nonsense for the pay they are getting ?

That's why they are competitively remunerated. Most teachers make 100k/yr in their mid-thirties.

hi, would like to know what does ''kept for reference'' really mean for a job application under the govt career portal? i know the application for that post is unsuccessful but do they really keep my cv for reference for future job vacancies or is it just a courteous pr reply to say i cmi?

kept for reference = mean no chance for interview for the current position you have applied. which simply mean failed application whatsoever to me.

I have been applying job in DSTA which always put me as "kept for reference". But they have been re-posting the same job/position again and again for 4-5x already(they still never call me for any interview), and I have been apply these same position for the same number of times, and instead of classified me as "rejected", they still put me under "kept for reference".

hi all,
I am a dip holder, 7 yrs working experience and trying to jump job from one stat board to another.
Went thru the two interviews, 1 written test and asked for 20% increment.
HR mgr call me after 2nd interview to inform that panel find me suitable, he also asked me if they can only match my current salary will i take up the offer. Reason why they can offer increment is because i just receive mine in Apr at current stat board and if they offer me higher pay, it is violation of govt instruction manual.
Does anyone has experience or knowledge of my situation?

ya...agree whole-heartedly that teachers are best in whining. Everytime kao pei kao bu.
hahaha
