PRIMARY school teachers in Australia work longer than teachers anywhere else in the Western world, on duty almost 200 hours more every year than the OECD average.

According to a new study jointly conducted by UNESCO and the International Labour Office, the statutory number of teaching hours in Australian primary schools is 996, compared with 644 in Denmark and 892 in France. The average for OECD countries is 801 hours.

In high schools, only the US asks more of its teachers than Australia, with 964 hours statutory teaching hours in junior high school, compared with 955 hours in Australia; and 943 hours for senior high school teachers, compared with 941 hours in Australia. The OECD average is 716 hours for junior high school and 662 hours for senior high school.

The report, A Statistical Profile of the Teaching Profession, released today, warns population growth and a decline in working conditions are causing a worldwide teacher shortage.

The study finds the number of school-aged children has outpaced the growth of the teacher workforce.

Low salaries and poor work conditions discourage new recruits.

In developing countries there are up to 100 students to a teacher.

In developed countries, the report finds the teaching workforce is ageing and governments are struggling to attract young people to the profession. In Germany and Sweden more than 70 per cent of primary school teachers are over 40.

In Australia, figures estimate the average age of a teacher is mid to late 40s. Weekend newspapers routinely carry advertisements for teachers from the US, Britain and New Zealand. Most states have aggressive teacher recruitment drives and state governments advertise interstate.

　　　澳大利亚教师工作时间更长

在澳大利亚工作的小学老师工作时间比西方国家任何地方长, 上班时间每年将近 200个小时超过OECD(经济合作暨发展组织)平均工作时间。根据UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)和国际劳动办事处的一项共同研究表明，澳大利亚小学的法定教学工作时间为每年996小时而丹麦为644小时，法国892小时。OECD国家的平均工时为901小时。

    在中学，只有美国比澳大利亚要求教师工作时间长。美国小学法定工作时间为964小时，而澳大利亚为955小时。美国高中教师法定工作时间为943小时，而澳大利亚为941小时。OECD国家的平均工时初中为712，高中为662小时。

今天发表的“教师职业的统计数据”报告警告：人口生长和工作条件的衰微正引起全球老师不足。研究发现学龄儿童人数已经超过教师职工总数等比增长速度。

低薪水和贫穷的工作条件使教坛新兵士气低落。在发展中的国家中，平均一位老师教100位学生。

报告发现在发达国家中，教师队伍趋于老化。政府正在努力吸引年轻人投身教师职业。 在德国和瑞典70%以上的小学教师年龄已经超过40.

在澳洲，据估计老师的平均年龄为40的中后年龄档。 周末报纸通常登广告从美国，英国和新西兰招聘教师。 大部分州都有敢作敢为的招募教师的闯劲，而且州政府在做州际的广告。
