The annual statutory salary is the sum of the gross wages paid to fully qualified school heads in a year according to the salary ranges statutorily defined in regulations or other steering documents. It includes any additional payments that all school heads receive and that constitute a regular part of the annual base salary (such as the management allowance or the 13th month and holiday pay where applicable). This gross amount excludes the employer’s social security and pension contributions but includes those paid by the employees.
Salary data refers to the minimum and maximum salaries for school heads with the minimum qualification. Where salaries vary depending on the size of the school, data is available for the smallest and biggest schools, and for the most common size of school (when other).
