Note 1

The annual statutory salaries are based on 2019/2020 salary scales in collective agreements, except in Ontario, where they reflect a salary grid used for funding purposes in 2019-2020. Salaries have been converted to US dollars using the 2020 purchasing power parity (PPP) for private consumption for Canada from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) National Accounts database (accessed April 10, 2021). 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.

These averages are from Education at a Glance 2021: OECD Indicators, Table D3.1, Teachers' statutory salaries, based on the most prevalent qualifications, at different points in teachers' careers (2020). 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.
