Teachers' salaries and allowances
- Teachers’ remuneration is regulated by collective agreement for all education levels.
- The minimum qualification level for teachers at pre-primary level is ISCED 6 (3 years) and ISCED 7 (5 years) at all other levels. As of 2022/2023 newly qualified teachers have qualification ISCED 7. The legally sanctioned requirement for this qualification is still not an obligation. However, the biggest share of teachers at primary and lower secondary levels have higher qualification (60 additional ECTS). At upper secondary education level, the biggest share of teachers have a master’s degree (ISCED 7), 60 additional ECTS and pedagogical studies.
- Salary progression of teachers depends on the level of qualification and the number of years in service.
- Teachers are civil servants.
