Teachers to get salary hike as MOE overhauls salary scheme

Monthly pay will rise by 4% to 9%.

Education officers (EOs) will enjoy fatter paychecks starting October.

The Ministry of Education said today that EOs in various General Education Officer (GEO) and Senior Education Officer (SEO) grades will receive a 4% to 9% increase in their monthly salaries. Up to 30,000 serving EOs will be eligible in this round of salary adjustments.

The MOE will also adjust the salary structure of the Education Scheme of Service. Starting October, there wil lbe a single salary structure for officers.

Previously, graduate and non-graduate classroom teachers are recruited and remunerated on separate salary structures due to the difference in their academic qualifications

MOE will also be introducing an annual Special EO Payment (SEP) for all trained EOs, which will replace the current Learning and Development Scheme (LDS). The SEP, which will be paid out each September from 2016, will be from $500 to $700 in cash, and serves as a form of recognition for EOs.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
