Britain's prime school educators are by far the youngest among evolved nations, and its teachers over all levels are younger than their European counterparts, the OECD's annual review of international education has discovered.
About 60% of UK prime school educators are 40 or junior, and 31% are 30 or junior. Across OECD member countries an mean of 13% of prime school teachers are under 30.
In lesser schools only Brazil and Indonesia have more educators 40 or underneath than the UK, and only Indonesia has more under 30.
In Italy, 85% of primary educators are over 40, in Sweden 72% and in Germany 71%. In Finland, Germany, Austria, Spain and Sweden less than 10% of lesser school educators are 30 or junior. The OECD facts and figures covers both state and unaligned schools.
In its analysis the OECD described: "The relatively young educating force in the UK stands in stark compare to the position in many European countries where inflexible paid work situation connected with declining youth populations have commanded to aged educator populations."
Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's deputy controller for learning and abilities, said there were advantages and handicaps for the UK. Younger teachers were more likely to have more latest, up-to-date teaching, while older teachers were more skilled.
Part of the cause may be the structure of educators' pay in the UK. In England the beginning salary for a prime school is overhead the OECD mean, and the wages with 10 years' know-how is about £6,000 higher. "But in England, educators' salaries at the top of the scale do not boost when a educator has had more than 10 years' know-how, so educators salaries finally drop behind the OECD mean of $45,602 [£29,484]," the OECD documented.
It also discovered that young persons in the UK expended more time out of work or learning and teaching than their OECD equivalent, and substantially longer than those in the largest performing constituent economies.
A individual elderly between 15 and 29 in the UK can be expected to spend 8.8 years in work, 6.2 years in learning or teaching, and 2.3 years unemployed or economically inactive. The EU mean is 2.2 years inactivity, in Germany it's 1.7 years, while juvenile persons in the Netherlands spend just 1.1 years jobless or economically inactive.
poorest off in the UK is the 20- to 24-year-old age group: between 2000 and 2011 the percentage of those not in learning, training or work increased from 15% to 19%.
