What do OECD data on teachers’ salaries tell us?
Teachers’ salaries are widely debated around the world, with divergent views among
the actors of education. Salaries have risen very little over the last decade and
have even fallen in real terms in almost half of OECD countries between 2015 and 2022.
However, salary levels are just one of the many factors contributing to the attractiveness
of the profession. In addition to raising salaries, decision makers should also take
steps to raise the status of the profession in society, and offer teachers more opportunities
for professional development and mobility to ensure that the profession remains intellectually
stimulating throughout their careers.
