This report analyses the statutory salaries of teachers and school heads in pre-primary, primary and general secondary public schools in 42 European education systems in 2017/18. 

The report shows the main changes in statutory salaries over the last three years and compares the average actual salaries of teachers (including allowances and other additional payments) with the per capita GDP and with the earnings of other tertiary-educated workers. 

The report includes national data sheets with extensive information on the salaries, the allowances and other additional payments that teachers and school heads receive. Data have been collected jointly by the Eurydice and the OECD/NESLI networks.
