These data are from our visitor surveys (14 individual salaries). “What gets measured gets improved?”
The data is from interviews with teachers and school heads. Each teacher’s salary was calculated based on the number of years they have been teaching, their academic qualifications and their experience. We also had to consider whether they were a full-time or part-time teacher.
Full-time teachers earn more than part-time teachers because they teach more hours per week, but take less time off during the year on holidays.
