Native Speaker Teachers (NSTs) face a pay gap of up to 48% compared to our Austrian colleagues.We urge the incoming Minister of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry for Civil Service and, if necessary, the Parliament of Austria, to address this inequality by taking the following actions:
 
1.   Establish Fair Salary Guidelines: Place NSTs with university degrees from English-speaking countries on the same salary scale as Austrian teachers.

2.   Ensure System-Wide Application: Apply these guidelines consistently across all school types and regions, under both the old and new civil service laws.

3.   Recognize International Experience: Value prior teaching experience in English-speaking countries by factoring it into salary level determinations.

Native Speaker Teachers (NSTs) are essential to Austrian public education. As highly educated, experienced, and dedicated professionals, we play a pivotal role in equipping the next generation of Austrians with the English skills needed to succeed in today’s global society.

Our training and experience in English-speaking countries enable us to deliver exceptional language instruction. However, because this training occurred outside Austria, we face a significant pay gap of up to -48% compared to our Austrian colleagues.

Many of us are having difficulty making ends meet and are considering leaving the profession, which will deprive students of the high-quality English instruction they deserve.
 
By correcting this injustice, Austria will affirm its commitment to educational excellence and fair treatment for all educators.

Thank you for supporting high-quality English instruction in Austrian schools.

Kjo kërkesë është përkthyer në gjuhët vijuese

teaching staff should be fairly renumerated according to prior experience and qualification. i also welcome non formal qualification e.g. if a seasoned author teaches writing classes, she should be treated as a highly qualified teacher even if she does not have formal degrees

the truth is, that NSTs are usually not "real" teachers. a teacher is not only instructing, but also fully responsible for grading, communicating with parents, reporting, preparation of excursions, etc. I don't know a single NST who has actually stayed long enough to be capable of fulfilling all this tasks.
