You could always ask somebody who is in the branch, or write in to someone in the branch to ask. If they can't tell you, they'll let you know as much, but either way you've got nothing to lose by expressing your interest in a polite and sincere manner.

If you don't ask, then yup, you'll only know when OPE opens.

To maximise your chances, you should apply as soon as possible to the positions that you want. You can always deliberate on whether to accept the offer later on. It doesn't hurt to go for more interviews, you learn something from every one of them even if you don't get offered/don't accept their offer. Good luck!

Ope

Just a question about OPE, is there a number of applicants stated per post? That is, is it time sensitive or is it that you will get to register your interest as long as you apply within the window?

Maybe y'all should really call HR to see who gets this 9% adjustment. They must have certain considerations. Like during which period or sth. And confirm calculated on their end, to avoid backlash
this is really strange...promoted in 2021 will get this special adjustment, but promoted in 2020 and 2022 don't have? weird max

Because both our salary adjustments are not 5%. We had around 9% too. Maybe you ask ur GEO 4 friend to call HR? Our adjustment is definitely higher than that of GEO 3 at that time of adjustment in Oct 2022

True. SLs governing a school is akin to a prime minister governing a nation. when the ministers (HODs), senior civil servants (SHs) and civil servants (teachers) dont perform or make mistake, why should the prime minister (principal) take the blame? the Prime Minister (SLs) is a proven competent leader that shouldnt shoulder the blame for others, since the Prime Minister (SLs) would have worked his way up to prove his worth.Yes, he’s paid the highest in the nation (school), but dont make your problem, his problem. of course, whatever contributions or positive things that the country (school) get or enjoys due to civil servants (teacher) efforts is due to the prime minister’s (SLs) guidance, so prime minister (SLs) MUST take credit.

Thanks, this is new info to many of us.

Promoted in April 2022 to GEO4.

Only 5% adjustment in Oct 2022. Back calculated using difference in April and Oct basic pay.

Anyone of the same batch with the same experience?

Agreed. Why is the teaching service so full of people who think that everyone else is to blame but not themselves?

SLs get big fat salaries for what?
Then just say No to the parent. Just because another teacher is ok with it doesn't mean that others should be.

Why be a spineless adult? Teachers really never grew up and left their childhood schoolchild mentality
