2) If they choose to retain their HOD appointment and switch school, they'll be forced to work and show their worth in the new environment. For those who aren't able to do so, a number will end up choosing to step down. Overall, even if it doesn't solve 100% of the 'problem' you have outlined, it's quite likely to reduce it… no? |

And history does matter. Some ROs now may not even be teaching as well as his/her subordinate, but in the past they managed to rise up so fast to their current position now. The bar has been raised so much already. If we zoom out and look at the bigger picture now, a high performing GEO3 will need to have a portfolio that covers almost everything (IP and non IP related), while specializing in some of his/her strengths (leadership role e.g. IC-ship or being extremely skilled in something). Most of such officers' lives revolve only around work. We can already see so many SEOs and GEO5s (can also guess their ages already) remaining single or childless by choice due to the demand of work. Gotta sacrifice something to climb. Those able to juggle work and everything else are either rare, or have some sort of external support (rich or free spouse, family etc) There is also that element of luck of having a good RO who fights for you and SLs who are fair. In a human centric type of industry, your progression is a lot more complex than other sectors like tech or finance. Right here, it is a combination of arbitrary numbers, proper connections and finally, luck. To put this in a more crude way, the complexity and demand of this industry now ensures a constant flow of officers resigning, remaining stagnant, being recruited and finally, being promoted, no? Bell curve model for fairness, no? |

Need some advice here. I left MOE before covid and returned during covid. I recently entertained thoughts of opening posting to HQ as i felt that my school has no plans to groom me to become a KP. But recently I got promoted to GEO5. This is completely unexpected as I just got promoted to GEO4 in 2022, 1.5yrs after returning to service. Which leads me to my question, should i stay on since the school seems to be ranking me well and recognizing my efforts and contribution? but no one sound me out on whether i am keen to be a KP |

In a way the system is actually correcting itself? Gone are the days of just cruising and getting promoted, but if you are a consistently strong performer and your school KPs/SLs aren't toxic, chances are you will be recognized and get promoted. |

Unregistered | Wah this is quite a hard qns to ans. It really depends on who the other school sends as their CPE. It also depends on whether is it subject-specific. A non-science CPE invigilating a Science Practical exam may not be as ideal as a science CPE. Hope this answer your qns 😂😂 | |

Looking at the recent posts, I just feel the need to share with younger educators that a forum is a forum and its not the most accurate source of information. A lot of these reviews given by poor performers are one-sided, and tbh its not easy to get a D grade these days. Often, the officer's lack of self-awareness is the problem, hence don't be too trusting of these online stories and end up feeling jaded, because honestly its not that bad for the majority. On those that are performing or want to perform, as the long suffering SEO1 has alluded to, leadership in school is increasingly difficult, increasingly toothless, more consultative/conducive -- for good or bad. Much like a DM who cannot really enforce the rules anymore. Be prepared to be tested and face extremely difficult colleagues in ur path to move up the ladder. Long story short, take stories here with pinch of salt and practice discernment. |

Unregistered | Hi, I'm a BT, mid career and PGDE graduated in 2022 and ranked GEO3 upon confirmation. Level rep and house master for the past 2 years in this school. Just gotten my promotion to GEO 4 last week. Not FCH. Is my CPE good? | |
