Has anyone worked out how many extra teachers can be employed with the hefty $14.7 billion at $65,000/teacher/year with pay increase of 4% each year:
1. over the next 10 years? Answer 22,500
2. over the next 15 years? Answer 13,350
3. over the next 20 years? Answer 9,000

At $55,000 with an annual increment of 4%, a teacher will be paid $115,877 each year in 20 years time.

I wonder I can get a job to teach the politicians Mathematics. They suffer from numeracy defficiency!
