It also cites paragraphs 7(viii) and 11.1(viii) of the e-Transfer Policy 2024, concerning promoted and awaiting-posting teachers who do not receive posting orders because they submit too few preferences against vacant posts or no preferences at all.
For promoted teachers in these circumstances, the cited provision states that the department will make the posting. For teachers awaiting posting, the appointing authority or School Education Department will post them through SIS against an available vacant post.
Teachers should therefore give careful attention to their available posting preferences when submitting applications.
