The mean annual gross salary for pre-primary and primary teachers in 2022 was 36,200 euros, around 3,000 euros less than the European Union average. Teachers in middle school earned 38,500 euros yearly, while in high school salaries were about 41,000 euros. Both figures were well below the EU average, 44,500 euros for lower secondary school and 47,200 euros for upper secondary school. Hence, a high school teacher with a full-time contract earned 6,200 euros less than a European colleague and 3,500 euros less than a middle school teacher working in other EU countries.
