Dr. Myron Lieberman Chairman We're striving to improve American education Are You? Subscribe to EPI-Update Review the EPI-Update Archives Search the EPI Web Site Public education in the United States does not fulfill either the educational or social needs of children. Its deficiencies have serious negative consequences in our political system, our economy, and within our social and cultural affairs. Accordingly, EPI seeks to improve education through research, policy analysis, and the development of responsible alternatives to existing policies and practices. In these activities, EPI strives to promote greater parental choice in education, a competitive education industry, and other policies that address the problems of both public and private schools. EPI's chairman and president are nationally prominent for their contributions on education policy issues. EPI Chairman, Dr. Myron Lieberman, is widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on education employment relations and teacher unions. EPI President, Charlene K. Haar, is the author of groundbreaking studies of the National PTA. Her publications have led to widespread scrutiny of the PTA as an NEA-dominated organization with a liberal social agenda. In addition, Ms. Haar is a coauthor of The NEA and AFT: Teacher Unions in Power and Politics At long last, the Education Policy Institute is delighted to announce the publication of

For and About Members Help for Parents Press Center News Releases ... Speeches For More Information: NEA Communications: 202 822-7200 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 8, 2002 News Release U.S. Teachers' Salaries Fall Below Economic Trends NEA Report Shows Teacher Salaries Not Keeping Pace With Education Investments Washington, D.C. - America's teachers did not reap the rewards of increased investment in public education during the 1990s, according to a report released today by the National Education Association (NEA), the nation's largest professional employee organization. To read the full report, visit http://www.nea.org/edstats/images/02rankings.pdf Teachers' salaries increased by 3 percent during the decade spanning from 1991-2001 when adjusted for inflation. This increase works out to an average annual rate of 0.3 percent a year, according to NEA's report Rankings and Estimates 2000-2001 . During this same period, school revenue receipts, total expenditures, and per-pupil expenditures increased significantly. "As more money was invested in public education, teacher salaries remained stagnant - all while the U.S. was in a time of economic expansion," NEA President Bob Chase said. "If we, as a nation, are serious about student achievement, we need to make sure we can attract and retain high-quality teachers. Nothing has a more profound effect on a child's achievement than the quality of his or her teacher, and it's hard to convince someone to stay in the classroom when the salary is so low."
