Why no one talks about this piece of good news?
they may rotate, but eventually the hod are still the ones determining the performance and promotion, evil hod will just attack another set of hardworking teachers. so i really dont see the point of this. if its abt rotating the hod DOWN and letting others rotate upwards then maybe that will be better.

Because this forum is probably filled with many ppl who want to rise and maybe be in a position of filling seat forever and hence its not a good piece of new to them? haha

My own HOD is above 55 and hence will continue to stay on hahah. been in this school since she joined teaching after nie

Instead a junior colleague got promoted. This is very upsetting because I feel that I've definitely done more in my longer years of service. I know that I have few to no bosses who stand up for me during ranking and this is probably one of the reasons why my performance has generally been average, even though I've taken up a few IC roles. It's sad that at the end of the day it's really not about the work you do but about whether you connect with the right people in the right way. I know it's probably like this, if not worse, in other jobs. It's just that in other jobs it probably makes more sense because the financial stakes are higher. Honestly I expected better from the teaching fraternity when I chose this path after a few years in the private sector. If any hopeful teacher is reading this, let this be a cautionary tale.
i took 7 years to be promoted to geo4, even though I did OIC, TIC, hq stint etc. I feel that MOE must have missed out, and I plucked up my courage to ask my boss and HR in 2023 why am I not promoted?!and the following year i got it. so i suggest you try asking your RO or HR. good luck.

A lot of misconception of promotion floating on this forum, can share some perspectives.

1) Promotion has slowed down. This is unpleasant for some of us who have colleagues who enjoyed the rapid accelerated promotion in the 90s. Call it luck. It is life. No need to compare.

2) C grade is for people who perform at their job. It sounds unpleasant. But the number of hours spent teaching your students/consultations/competitions are all already paid to you in your salary. Don’t complain that others can wayang better. If you want to stand out, then prove to everyone that you are doing more. Use social media. Use the internet. Dont think small. But how many are willing to other than complain?

promote April 2024 onwards?

seems like a lot of teachers got C- in 2020
these 3 years are a crucifixion indeed. how will i know if i am eligible again? from 2021 2022 and 2023, i got all C's with the highest PB. Like that also not eligible? When i found out that i was not on the promotion list, i actually felt I have no self-worth. Like in the eyes of HR, am I worthless and useless? am I so horrible to the point that I am in the same sub-grade as a BT who just got their GEO 3? my batch mates have left service while I am the fool who wasted my youth to bite the bullet, persevere but it amounts to nothing. Then at the end of the day what will they say? that you are lousy, never improve, others improve faster than you and all the bs or those nitty gritty things to try to bring you down?
