This update comes as many teachers across the country continue to wait for the official release of the results.

With the marking process now complete, the results have moved to the final stage before release. What remains is the approval process, after which officials can release the results.

Key Updates

Due to the merging of two batches, adjustments now ensure fairness and seniority:

• Applicants with Notional Effective Date on or before 2020 will receive a new date of 1st September 2024, which qualifies them for the next promotion in 2028.
• Applicants with Notional Effective Date on or before 2021 will receive a new date of 1st September 2025.
