Workload with 2% to 9% Salary Increase for Teachers

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Education whether the reported increase in teacher salaries of 2% to 9% will be accompanied by additional duties that may increase the workload of the teaching corps.

Mr Desmond Lee: The Ministry of Education conducts periodic salary reviews to ensure that the overall salary package of teachers remain market competitive. The planned salary revision of 2% to 9% is not tied to additional duties.
