Since there is a teacher shortage (i.e. people are not being replaced), this would appear to not be the case.
- resonious 3y agoIf there really is demand for teachers then this shortage will eventually balance out with more expensive education and more teachers. If I'm understanding the argument correctly that is.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoMore expensive education rarely translates to better paid teachers.
- vasco 3y agoNot so fast, there are other explanations, such as they are not actually trying to be replaced by governments.
- qgin 3y agoThat's the other half of the equation: the government is not actually doing what is required to replace the teachers, which would be to raise the wages. So you get paid the minimum required to replace you OR the maximum the employer is willing to pay before saying "we'll just go without this role being filled", whichever is lower.
