How high are we talking abt? Civil serpents love to use staff attrition rates to justify everything from pay increases to outsourcing their work to commercial vendors. In any pte sector organization, having 20% to 30% turn around of rank and file staff is common even if you have good working conditions and competitive pay. The attrition rates go up during good times and fall during bad times. It is a matter of doing the necessary contingency planning to cope with the expected staff attrition.

Instead of doing this, SSC and MOE have taken the easy way out by outsourcing the problem away. They can claim to the extent of their efforts by pointing out the large amount of taxpayer money they have spent to address the problem. However because they are essentially overpaying for poor quality lessons for our kids, the underlying objective of building a Sports culture for our kids are not met. I'll bet that if you do an audit of programs like SEP, you will find that there is no empirical evidence to show that the program is meeting the intended objectives in spite of the money which has been spent.

high attrition rate, bro.
