Can a headteacher apply for deployment to Junior Secondary school and if so what happens to his/her position and salary scale?
Thanks a lot Sir for your feedback. Heads cannot apply for deployment since TSC has automatically promoted them to head JSS in the meantime but there is no salary increment.
