Probably but if a teacher is quarantined and for whatever reason they think their students wouldn't have gotten it from them then the school can be kept open with other teachers in megaclasses rather than having to have the facility close due to lack of staffing and the resulting economic impact of parents having to stay home with children etc. It's explicitly about increasing risk to groups to maintain economic activity.

in my country they're not exactly well-paid, but it's not crazy either - a teacher with a master's starts at a decent clip above median wage and has a reasonable salary progression. i'm pretty sure this is also the case in the rest of the nordics. what our teachers are mostly complaining about is being made to write all sorts of useless documentation and reports, classical neoliberal nonsense stuff

the only insight I’ve heard into this is that lots of industries in London are kind of frozen right now because nobody can really afford to pay assistants and entry level employees and nobody can afford to live off those jobs anyway so there is both a shortage of jobs as well as a lack of pay. How much worse is it?

a new teacher in Berlin makes about €60k :)

(and Berlin teacher salaries are the lowest in Germany, although the progression differs)

A friend of mine is a teacher in Berlin and he makes more than literally any engineers in my Peer group that I know. I was expecting pretty good salary but when he told me what he gets after taxes I was still floored.

Also there are many many teacher positions still unfilled, people are switching to teaching from engineering and other jobs because you currently have a job guarantee more or less.

So yeah, Germany atm.

Either that or if you're of the right stock you go to train the next generation of Imperial bureaucrats at some sort of private school even though there's been no Empire in so many decades these people are incapable of changing. Like if you're at Eton College teaching you'll be earning over £60k for starters (and according to their accounts for 2014 there were 2 earning at least 3 times that which I assume is the Head & Deputy Head. There's 20 in the £90k-£99,999 bracket)

State teaching in the UK is a thankless job taking advantage of people's passion & decency: poorly compensated with miserable hours, a poo poo curriculum and at least half the people I know who have given up within a handful of years because it just wasn't worth it. Which seems like a problem but that's Britain for you, a stupid country run by loving morons.

Berlin is different than other European capitals and teacher remuneration is state dependant. Also, in Berlin teachers are public employees while in other German states they are "Beamte", which has a lot of knock-on effects with regard to remuneration.

those are salaries for fully qualified teachers at public secondary and primary schools. Fully qualified in this context also means German at C2 level.

Teachers at (most) private schools make (much) less.

Teachers at "language" schools (so not public and not an actual secondary or primary school) make next to nothing.

When you say next to nothing, do you mean by German standards or UK ones haha. I'm not sure if we mean the same thing talking about English language shoots, my friend said there are international schools where all the teaching is in English.

Also please let me live in your country

I'm a Dutch living in Berlin op, Germany is most definitely not "my country", although Berlin is my city :)

Yeah, I thought you were talking about English language schools in the sense of private institutions where you can learn the English language. Teachers make nothing at those and the are basically all "freelancers".

There are indeed international schools where the teaching is in English, but those are all private institutions and you will make less than at a public school, especially in the beginning... but maybe still more than in the UK. I don't know about the rest of Germany, but there are a couple of international schools in Berlin, but its not easy to get a job there

One other thing is that Berlin is relatively cheap to live in compared to other European capital cities

Athens is the biggest % of GDP on that list and 1/3 of Greece lives there, if I remember correctly half of Ireland lives on Dublin so would not be surprised to see it off the bottom of the chart.
