„Salaries and allowances are key elements in the attractiveness of the teaching profession (along with such issues as working conditions, career prospects, professional development opportunities and recognition). They play an important role in drawing people into the teaching profession and in ensuring that serving teachers are satisfied and motivated to continue teaching.“
