| Note 1: For
each country in the table in the upper, right-hand
corner average teaching salaries of primary and secondary school
teachers are provided in the body of the graph. The salary grades
indicated by the variable labels primary and secondary
represent starting salaries; the salary grades corresponding to the
variable labels after 15 years represent the average salaries
received by primary (left) and secondaryReading the
graph vertically
for each of the four variables along the x-axis allows one to compare
the average teaching salaries in each country for each level of
education and length of service rendered. For example, Hong Kong
primary and secondary school teachers with 15 years of service are paid
more than teachers with similar length of service in any of the other
countries under comparison. Reading the graph from left to
right
along a single colored line reveals differences among school levels and
length of employment for a single country. For example, Germany stands
out among the pact insofar as a secondary school teacher just starting
out in a German school earns about the same as a Germany primary school
teacher with 15 years of experience. (right) teachers after 15 years of
service. |
