Responsibilities are still not clear between state, municipalities, headmasters and teachers, and resources and responsibilities are often poorly aligned. While the starting salary for a Swedish teacher is around the OECD average, the wage progression, and thus the possibility to make an attractive career out of teaching, is very limited. The highest teacher wages are only 33% higher than starting wages, compared to the OECD average of 58% (OECD, 2014d). More flexibility on working hours outside the classroom, increasing autonomy on ways to reach learning targets, enhancing coaching and feedback and increasing influence on issues concerning pupils and workplace are all factors which have the potential to raise teacher satisfaction and the attractiveness of the profession.
