Note 1

The annual statutory salaries are based on 2018/2019 salary scales in collective agreements. Salaries have been converted to US dollars using the 2019 purchasing power parity (PPP) for private consumption for Canada from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) National Accounts database (accessed July 14, 2020). Although this PPP takes into account differences in cost of living across countries, it was not possible to make a similar adjustment for provinces and territories.

Note 2

These averages are from Education at a Glance 2020: OECD Indicators, Table D3.1, Teachers' statutory salaries, based on the most prevalent qualifications, at different points in teachers' careers (2019). The OECD data can be found at Education at a Glance Database 2020 (accessed on September 10, 2020).

Note 3

Canada figures are weighted averages based on the number of full-time students enrolments, and reflect public institutions in submitting jurisdictions, as reported in the 2017/2018 Elementary-Secondary Education Survey (ESES). Yukon and Nunavut did not submit data and are not included in the Canadian average.
