Funny how this makes education level better, huh?
Are you listening, France?
- seszett 9y agoHuh, why are you singling out France out of the blue? I'd say that the fact that France is better than OECD average with relatively low teacher pay (though higher than the average salary in the country) seems to indicate that salary isn't everything, on the contrary. The differences regarding immigration to Canada and France might be a far more important factor though.

- pertymcpert 9y agoMaybe he or she is French and has experience of these issues? Just a complete guess though.
- macspoofing 9y agoPay and job security are usually lumped in together but aren't quite the same. I think most people would support a relatively good wage for teachers if there was more accountability. Even in Canada it is notoriously hard to fire bad teachers.
