How are teachers and school heads valued across Europe? What does their career progression look like? How have their salaries kept up across years? 

Explore all this and more in the re-designed interactive tool on teachers’ and school heads’ salaries and allowances. Along with its factsheet, the tool is designed to make this complex but important information clear and accessible:

  • Compare salary levels across 37 countries
  • Filter by education level, qualifications, school size and reference year
  • Track salary progression throughout a teaching career and over a period of time
  • Export charts and download full datasets for deeper insights 

Data in dynamic format is available from 2020/2021 school reference year onwards.
