SAID THEY THOUGHT PUPILS RESPECT TEACHERS – THE

FIFTH HIGHEST OF ALL 35 COUNTRIES

SURVEYED

> The starting salary for a secondary school teacher in Indonesia is around $14,500 (adjusted for purchasing power parity). However, teachers polled say the minimum salary they would need to be paid to leave teaching is just over $25,000.

> Indonesians had fairly accurate perceptions of the hours that teachers work, estimating 33.6 hours per week against the 31.9 hours actually reported by teachers. Indonesia was one of only six countries to slightly overestimate the number of hours worked (the others were Canada, China, Japan, Uganda and Finland). Most countries underestimated teachers’ working hours to various degrees.
