they are paying the teachers here pittance for the amount of work done, and their qualifications. if they really value them, pay them like Scandinavian countries. Fucking horse riders
The work is indeed a lot. Not really pittance compared to maybe 30-40 years ago. Just our cost of living escalated till the amount paid can't keep up with it. Same for every job sinkies are in except the civil servant & the ministers.
"In the early days, Lim Kim San and Goh Keng Swee worked night and day, and they were truly dedicated. I don’t know whether Lee Kuan Yew will agree but it started going downhill when we started to raise ministers’ salaries, not even pegging them to the
national salary but aligning them with the top ten,” said Ngiam. “When you raise ministers’ salaries to the point that they’re earning millions of dollars, every minister – no matter how much he wants to turn up and tell Hsien Loong off or whatever – will hesitate when he thinks of his million-dollar salary. Even if he wants to do it, his wife will stop him."
