Note 2.

Weighted averages based on the number of full-time educators: younger than 30 (for "Starting salary/minimum training"); aged 35 to 44 (for "Salary after 10 years of experience/minimum training"); or aged 45 or older (for "Salary after 15 years of experience" and "Salary at the top of the scale"). Reflects public institutions in submitting jurisdictions, as reported in the 2011/2012 Elementary-Secondary Education Survey (ESES). Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are not included in the Canada average because the ESES does not report a breakdown by age for the number of full-time educators.

Note 3.

The figures provided by Ontario are the midpoint of a range based on the provincially funded grid. They reflect the funded salary assuming a minimum level of qualifications necessary for certification, which may be less than the level of qualifications that is typical or most common for starting teachers. Teachers with a higher level of starting experience and/or qualifications may have a higher starting salary. Furthermore, the salaries reported for ISCED 1 (Primary) and ISCED 2 (Lower Secondary) include Ontario elementary teachers' salaries and those for ISCED 3 (Upper Secondary) include Ontario secondary teachers' salaries. As well, Ontario salaries are negotiated at the school board level.
