non-teaching

In fact, I have somewhere seen figures that suggest there are at least as many man-hours of non-teaching teachers (advisors, administrators, seconded teachers, teacher-teachers, careers advisors, psychotherapist types etc.) as man-hours of classroom teachers - without even adding-in the managers. wrt.

And I believe there would be considerably more bureacrats than teachers if you counted actual * classroom teachers* (in full time equivalents) against non-teaching teachers plus administrators and managers and the rest.

The explaination for the high average salary is obvious: mega bucks for non-teaching administrators like the 10 principals per high school, and hundreds or thousands of paper-pushers down at the central (or area) offices.
