Fed up with being an undervalued and underpaid teacher in the UK? Are you a teacher looking to move to the Middle East?

Below is my graphical representation, comparing teaching in the UK and teaching in the Middle East.


I don’t think I need to say much more. However, I would like to hear what you have to say.


❓ What’s your opinion on this?

❓ Did you make the move and then move back?

❓ Why did you make the move?

❓ If you have not made the move yet, then why not?


I am intrigued by how many teachers are interested in moving to the Middle East and what is stopping them from doing so.

EDIT: I have just realised that I did not even take pensions into account in the UK. If you're paying into pensions, then your salary will once again be lower than what is on the graph.
