According to MOE, the adjustment is intended to ensure that overall salary packages remain competitive, while helping the ministry continue attracting and retaining talent in the education sector.
In total, about 33,000 serving EOs, 1,700 AEDs, and 1,100 MKEs will receive a monthly salary increase ranging from 2% to 9%.
MOE noted that salaries for these groups were last reviewed in 2022, adding that it will continue providing opportunities for officers to learn and develop professionally throughout their careers.
Talking about the move in a Facebook post, Desmond Lee, Minister for Education acknowledged the contributions of educators and the key role they play in nurturing students and supporting their learning journeys, thanking them for their continued service.
