The following pages have been taken from
What Jobs Pay by Rod Stinson
(1995)
Salary comparison by age and grouping[1]
This group
has the lowest salaries of all school teachers. A small number of pre-primary
school teachers are self-employed, mainly in pre-schools and child care centres
which they or their families operate. There is not a lot of scope for
non-salary employment benefits.
Primary
school teachers continue to earn less then their secondary counterparts. This
is mainly due to the linking of pay scales to the length of training as well as
to the number of years of professional experience. As more primary school
teachers complete four years of professional training, average payrates will
rise.
Secondary
school teachers earn the highest incomes in the school teachers group, but the
increases in pay which come with greater experience are not as large as in many
other professions. This profession has no significant non salary employment
benefits.
Comparative salaries[2]
The 1996 median starting
salary for education graduates was 83.3% of average earnings, or $29,000
($30,00 for males and $28,600 for females). The 1996 rank was 10/23 (9/23 in
1995). The growth index was 290.0 (291.3 for males and 291.8 for females).
The field represented 11.5% of the respondents used in this analysis. Females
made up 84.3% of education respondents.
From a high point of 104.2%
of average earnings in 1977, salaries for education graduates fell to 88.8% in
1987. This was the same year in which education salaries first fell below the
all fields median. The 1990 figure was the lowest comparative point to date
that salaries have reached. In 1991, education salaries rose above the all
fields figure for the first time since 1986 but fell away again in 1992-3 to a
new low just below the all fields figure. Since 1993, salaries for education
graduates have risen above the level for all fields and were 83.3% of average
earnings in 1996.
Demand for initial education
graduates (those completing their first professional teaching qualification)
has not been strong over the last few years, with 17.6% still seeking full-time
employment in 1990, 33.4% in 1991 and 41.5% in 1992, before a small fall to
36.7% in 1993, levelling out at 36.9% in 1994, before falling to 25.4% in 1995
and 21.2% in 1996 (GCCA 97, p.25).
The ranking of education was
always in the ten best paid fields between 1977 and 1987 (with a hight point of
fourth in 1979). Between 1988 and 1990, the ranking fell to 13th
and 14th but jumped back to seventh in 1991. The following year saw
a fall to 11th in rank and to 12th in 1993 before a move back into
the ten best paid fields from 1994 to 1996.
Salaries for teachers are
largely governed by award rates.
Median starting salaries of bachelor degree graduates
in first full-time employment and aged less than 25, 1996 ($,000), with the
