Denmark - Teachers' salaries and allowances
Teachers' salaries and allowances
- Teachers’ remuneration is regulated by collective agreement. Decisions on pay scales, grades and steps, payment for pension and general allowances are a part of the agreements. It is also a part of the collective agreements that a part of the total salary has to be decided at school level. Some allowances are collectively agreed upon between the negotiating parties at the national level whilst others are agreed upon at the local level.
- The minimum qualification level for teachers is ISCED 6 at all education levels except at upper secondary where the requirement is ISCED 7. In upper secondary general education, the teacher must complete pedagogy (Pædagogikum) course over the first year.
- The salary progression for teachers depends on number of years in service.
- The current legislation in force does not envisage a civil servant status for teachers.
