Senior educators in leadership positions who have been in the same schools for more than eight years will be reshuffled from 2027, to allow more schools to benefit from their experience.
Mr Mike Thiruman, general secretary of the Singapore Teachers’ Union , told ST that there is bound to be a learning curve for senior educators who have to leave their comfort zones and move to new schools. “It has to be structured and cannot be just left to chance. The SOPs need to be ironed out, and KPs need to have discussions with the school leaders about their vision,” he said.
A head of department who declined to be named said the structured rotation of key personnel prevents stagnation within leadership ranks. She added that it ensures a constant flow of talent and expertise throughout the department. The former Queensway Secondary School educator was posted to Orchid Park Secondary School in 2019, and subsequently to Yuan Ching Secondary School in 2023, where she currently serves as a head of department for English language and literature.
