| Comment | Yes, massively.
I was a bit out with my comment though. Teachers now start on £27.5k for their probation year rising to £33k after probation. In four years they are on just under £42k. That's assuming they aren't chartered. Chartered teacher probation is £43k and then £51k after a few years.
If you are head of a subject, you're on £58k normally after a few years.
The myth that teachers are underpaid is exactly that, a myth. The majority of teachers are vastly overpaid. Keep in mind that these salaries apply regardless of subject. A teacher doing a few home economics classes a week is also earning the salary of a maths teacher working nonstop all week. |
