<p>In addition to the personal rewards of teaching, there are practical benefits too, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>a <a href="/life-as-a-teacher/pay-and-benefits/teacher-pay">competitive salary starting at <%= value :salaries_starting_minshortened %></a> (or higher in London)</li>

<h2 class="heading--box-blue">Holidays</h2>

<p>You’ll get more days holiday than people in many other professions. In school, full-time teachers work 195 days per year.</p>

<p>For comparison, you’d work 227 days per year (on average) if you worked full time in an office.</p>
