Its been a while since my father was a career teacher in JA but as far as I know things have not changed that much. I will assume you mean teachers in the public school system, whose wages are not supplemented in some way by the school community (I understand this does happen at some schools maybe someone in the know can confirm this).
Most teachers are unionized and so thier wages are negotiated between the govt and the unions. So the pay is basically set based on seniority.
Wages are low for the skill level, the majority of teachers would not be able to buy a house for example."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

Mek mi tell a yuh a likkle ting, MissLondon - most of the forumites do not reside in Jamaica, despite their expressed love and concern for their bawnland.
I am one of the few who has chosen to return home and get my hands dirty in the rebuilding of the country. Maybe around 3 others are on the Rock. The rest live in God Blessed America and Europe
