Canadian teachers are among the best paid in the world, edged only by Switzerland and Germany. And since Alberta teachers make much more than the national average, Alberta teachers are probably the best paid in the world.

It would be interesting to see what teachers would be paid if it were left up to the market. When you consider the other options available to Canadians who major in Sociology, English, and Art History, I'm guessing it would be considerably lower. |
Don't the teachers in Finland have to hold a masters degree though as well?That's a significant difference if I recall that correctly.
