Teachers' salaries in Indonesia are very low compared to neighboring countries.

Based on data compiled by *Databoks* from the Jobstreet job site, the lowest average teacher's salary in Indonesia in October 2023 was Rp2.4 million per month.

Meanwhile, in October 2023, the lowest average teacher's salary in Singapore reached SGD 2,200 per month.

When converted to Indonesian Rupiah using the purchasing power parity (PPP) method, this is equivalent to Rp11.9 million per month.

PPP is a macroeconomic calculation method used to compare the purchasing power of currencies between countries in a balanced way.

Unlike currency conversion, which calculates exchange rates in the foreign exchange market, PPP measures the purchasing power of a currency by comparing the prices of goods/services and inflation in each country.

Thus, currencies converted using the PPP method are assumed to be of equal value.

Using this method, the lowest average teacher's salary in Thailand in October 2023 reached Rp9.5 million, the Philippines Rp6.9 million, and Malaysia Rp5.5 million per month, significantly higher than in Indonesia.

Data on teacher salaries in other Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, Laos, Timor Leste, and Myanmar, were not available on Jobstreet.
