Antonio Gois

The average salary of Brazilian teacher early career is the third lowest in a total of 38 developed and developing countries compared in a study by UNESCO ( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ) announced on Saturday in Paris .

According to the study , only Peru and Indonesia pay lower salaries to their teachers in primary education - equivalent to 1st to 6th grade education - than Brazil . The average annual salary of a teacher in Indonesia is U.S. $ 1,624 . In Peru , this value is U.S. $ 4,752 . In Brazil is U.S. $ 4,818 . The value in Brazil is half of that found in neighboring Uruguay ( U.S. $ 9,842 ) and Argentina ( U.S. $ 9,857 ) and well below the average of developed countries , where the highest salary in that grade level was found in Switzerland ( U.S. $ 33,209 ) .

The result of Brazil improves slightly when comparing wages at the top of the scale for high school teachers . This level of education , there are seven countries that pay lower wages than Brazil , in a total of 38 .

To arrive at these values , UNESCO used as 99 years for comparison . The dollar amounts were calculated based on the PPP ( abbreviation for purchasing power parity ) . This indicator takes into account the cost of living in each country . Therefore , the salary of a teacher in dollars , according to the study , can not simply be converted to actual based on the official listing .

" The training of teachers is practically made for themselves . Whoever wins has to take up to three jobs and can not devote . Ago direct relationship between teacher salary and student performance ," says Juçara Dutra Vieira , president of the National Confederation of Workers Education . In São Paulo , the accumulation of classes in public schools reaches 64 weekly classes .

The authors cite as a common problem in almost all countries the increase of the student / teacher ratio in the classroom . This and other factors , according to Unesco , contributing to the decline in working conditions and discourage new teachers .

According to UNESCO , the study makes clear that in countries where the working conditions of the teachers are good , the quality of education tends to be better .

In the case of the relationship pupil / teacher ratios , the study also cited data from very poor countries . In some countries , such as Congo , Mozambique and Senegal , the ratio is 70 students / teacher .

In the comparison between developed and developing nations - which leaves out most of the countries of Africa and Asia's poorest - Brazil also has a result far below the average of the others. A total of 43 countries where it was possible to compare the indicator , Brazil has the sixth largest average student / teacher ratio in primary education : 28.9 .

In high school , Brazil has the highest ratio ( 38.6 ) compared to 33 developed and developing nations .

The total number of countries compared indicator varies because some of them have no statistics for comparison.

According to the director of Fundef ( Fund for the Maintenance and Development of Fundamental Education and Valorization of Teachers ) , Ulysses Town Semeghini , MEC has tried to do it adopted an effective increase in wages .

The fund redistributes resources to states and municipalities according to the number of enrollments . By law , 60 % of the money must be spent to pay teachers .

According Fundef , 98-2000 , the national average salary increased by 30 % ( in the Northeast , 60 % ) . " Wages are undoubtedly low. 's A shame . But there was a significant improvement ," said the director of the fund .
