Description

In the majority of countries/regions, teachers' minimum annual statutory salary for primary and lower secondary education levels is lower than the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP). For upper secondary education, this is also the case in more than half of the countries studied. With regard to maximum gross statutory salaries, they are higher than per capita GDP at all educational levels in most countries. - In many European countries, in 2014/15 teachers' salaries increased in comparison to 2013/14, with salary reforms and adjustments to the cost of living cited as the main reasons. This comes on the back of salary decreases in many countries in the previous years due to the economic crisis. - The minimum annual basic statutory salary for school heads in primary and lower secondary education is higher than the per capita GDP in most of the countries. The same is true for upper secondary education, where school heads are better remunerated than those at lower education levels, and only a few countries register a minimum salary lower than GDP per capita. - The difference between the minimum and maximum salaries is usually positively correlated to the number of years' service needed to reach the maximum salary. In some countries such as Hungary (secondary level), Austria and Romania, the difference between the minimum and maximum salaries is larger and many years of service are needed to reach the maximum salary. In other countries such as Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and the United Kingdom (Scotland), the difference between minimum and maximum salaries is smaller and the length of service needed to reach the maximum salary is short. - In almost all countries, the top level (central/regional) authority responsible for education sets the teachers' basic statutory salaries in public schools. However, in nearly all Nordic countries, local authorities alone or together with top level authorities have this responsibility. - Almost a third of the countries/regions examined in this report offer salary allowances and complementary payments for the following reasons: further formal qualifications, further Continuing Professional Development (CPD) qualifications, positive performance appraisal or good student results, additional responsibilities, geographical location, teaching pupils with special educational needs or in challenging circumstances, participation in extra-curricular activities and overtime. The two reasons most often cited across Europe are 'additional responsibilities' and 'overtime', while 'further CPD qualifications' and 'positive performance appraisal or good students results' are the least common. - Salaries in private grant-aided schools generally follow the rules applied in the public sector. In private independent schools, salaries are defined on an individual and contractual basis but always follow national labour legislation/codes of practice.
