Classroom teachers have gone on strike despite making as much as $107,000 a year and seeing their salaries increase faster than private-sector workers.
Public school teachers across NSW walked off the job on Tuesday as part of a campaign to increase their pay by at least five per cent over the next two years.
However, government data shows that a newly-qualified teacher in the state's public school system makes $72,260, amounting to $12,000 more than a graduate lawyer.
Meanwhile, the average graduate accountant makes only $47,000.
