Teachers make nothing. ..plus take disrespect from kids daily...
Waste of time career choice op

Its unfortunate to see some of the comments in here based on observations, I have a couple of former classmates who are in the teaching field and most seem to like it. At the end of the day teaching is a special calling and I believe many people now are just choosing to go into teaching as an easy job with 2 months vacation plus Christmas and Easter. Seeing a lot of younger teachers in the school, whereas you know when you were entering secondary school there were these seasoned older teachers who didn't make joke.
But I'm not discrediting the fact that now children in schools are muchhh more difficult to deal with, plenty teachers trying to get into the prestige schools and avoid the government ones. And another problem one of my friends who is at a government school is having is working under a principal that don't do sh*t and just don't care, their main purpose is to collect a salary.

Above a certain level the politics steps in and the principals can do very little but tow the line. So they resign themselves mentally.

Also in many cases especially in the government schools the principals hide or don't publicly declare the statistics of their school because if the school looks bad so do they and they get poor treatment from the Ministry.

How can a t3 be collecting 11k before tax ? Is that private or government ?

These rates posted in the forum are not factual ?

T3 secondary before tax starts at 12k

Government.... Only a few years service...well daz wah d person tell me...shrugs shoulders... This profession would have been a good choice if corporal punishment was still around

There're a lot of countries where the job in the educational sphere is ungrateful. It gives the professionals 2paths - tutoring after official work and bribes. Only in some Scandinavian countries, like Finland teacher is an honorable title. After graduation, I also had a 1-year practice of teaching and you know, it does not worth spending time and health. Now, working as a freelance editor and content writer at college paper writing service I feel much better as an expert, have a good salary and much more time for the personal and professional development.

There aren't too many teacher shortages so I have to believe that the pay is sufficient for the people starting. But there seems to be a lot of gripes from the old timers trying to retire.

The shortage is real but I know of people waiting over 2 years just to get accessed. That is where the problem stems from....the employees at the MOE. I don't know if they put applications in a cupboard and label it "pending for 2 years" while they relax. Why so slow ?

Off the salary....i did some research and not finding this question so obviously no answer...whats the necessary qualifications to become ss principal ? Before was seniority (which comes with experience)... what is it now?

for primary school...degree...b.ed and 3 yrs in a management post I believe...

Well u should know they dropped primary to 5 Os. Idk if one can get promotion with that tho. Either way I'm qualified for secondary. So my aim is principal. Management degree masters should make sense ?

[adnj]

Maybe a Masters degree in Education. You won't get much in the way of school management with an MBA.

[X_Factor]

his opportunities would be out of the school and working in the MOE on contract in a managerial position
maybe overseeing, planning, executing
but having a masters and getting 16k as a principal primary and all the stress associated with it is far from worth it

[adnj]

I thought he said that he wanted to be a school principal.

[uncle sam]

16k as a principal... dat is licks

[TBrown]

Secondary... the 18k seems worth it to me. Thanks for the advice on education masters

[AlphaMan]

Do UTT graduates get the T3 status or is it UWI alone?
Any major difference between both graduates?
