8th year teacher here. Thank you.

Not all teachers complain or point fingers blah blah. It's just the minority. You do well, you get financially rewarded with promotion and merit increments. By the end of a few years, you will already be earning quite a few hundreds or even a thousand more than your peers. So i have nothing to complain. I was in the private sector doing something relevant to my degree...man, that one i have more complaints. No sense of camaraderie and stability. One day the whole team can be asked to go or take a paycut because of covid or whatnot. I much prefer the stability that civil service offers. Yes, you won't be rich, but as if i will be rich working in the private sector also. I'm just thankful that the pay is fair, allows me to start a family, buy a house, own a brand new car and go for holidays every year guaranteed. Paid holiday if you will. What's there to complain? Colleagues not nice, then try to make them nice to you. Or change schools only.

Typically, the pay scales are designed to be long ladders for the job holder to remain in service for long time.

Most will get increment every year or if they hit the ceiling, periodic salary reviews will increase the ceilings.

Relatively, the pay is decent and somewhat seniority based.

Stop the blame game

Teachers should stop blaming and pointing fingers. It is not a respectable behavior.

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?
