Teachers salaries

[Expose the lot of them]

Can anyone explain what changes there are/will be for teachers Salaries in 2011. The only lists I can find on the Web are the post 2010 levels.

This is the most recent info I can find.
TUI, Teacher Salary Scales, Deparment of Education and Science

so looks like I will start at

- grade 1 €30,904
- (a)H. Dip in Ed. (1st or 2nd Hons) €1,236- (g) Doctors Degree €6,140

which means my pay could be €38280

Now..... there is all sorts of talk about reducing the rates further and changes to increments and other allowances.

Does anyone know what I can expect to earn starting in 2011??

Thanks!

Nervous teacher.......

Why should you be paid an extra €1,236 because you have a H. Dip, is that not a requirement to teach at seconday level and should not be an optional extra.

I would imagine that the number of teachers who have a doctorate would be around zero, mind you have a doctorate does not make a person a better teacher.

Anyone that has to put up with 30 teenagers in a confined space deserves a million euro a day!

You obviously have a very antagonistic viewpoint of Irish teenagers.

Some of them actually want to learn something, and many of them want to sit quietly and not be noticed.

If some of them are misbehaving, then you can always discipline them. Only teachers don't do that any more.

It is much more advantageous to be liberal with them, and then look for extra money from the taxpayer for the fact that they are disruptive.

Teachersd pay should be cut to €25k basic, they are overpaid and underworked.

Thats my point, the pensions are'nt being funded solely by employee contributions (every 2 week) as was the inference. So the Govt. is funding a portion of the pension, with no risk accruing to the teacher.

There are'nt may employers going that nowadays

The government also fully funds private sector pensions in the form of the State OAP, great value for money for the private sector employee considering the comparatively meagre contributions involved ;0

Far too generous, shackle them and force them to pay you.

Not bad considering the pension, hours and holidays.

Intel pay €28k to grads, and €34k to PhD grads

Teachers dont get an automatic pension entitlement. They have to take out a pension just like anyone in the private sector. I'm not sure if the DB scheme is available to new teachers either. But I agree on the hours and holidays.
