MOE bumps monthly pay of teachers by 5%-10% 

The salary adjustments will take effect on 1 October.

The monthly salaries of the Ministry of Education's (MOE) education officers (EO), allied educators (AEDs), and kindergarten educators (MKEs) will be increased by 5% to 10% on 1 October.

In an announcement, the MOE said the salary hike will ensure that their "overall salary packages remain competitive" so they can "continue to attract and retain good educators."

The MOE said 35,000 EOs, 1,6000 AEDs, and 800 MKEs will benefit from the salary adjustments.

Meanwhile, the MOE also announced that starting in 2023, its CONNECT Plan will see an "overall enhancement of about 20%, as the annual deposit quantum and payout ratio will be raised to better support officers in the earlier years of their career."

Currently, the flat rate quantum set aside for EOs each year ranges from $3200 to $8320, whilst the payouts are given every three to five years.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
