Request
A
What is the median (not average or mean) annual salary of all full time teachers in Jersey, not including Deputy and Head teachers?
How many teachers are included in this figure?
B
What is the median (not average or mean) average annual salary of all Deputy and Head teachers in Jersey?
How many teachers are included in this figure?
A previous FOI request gave the average but as it is well known, wage distributions are skewed so that the average (arithmetic mean) is usually higher than the median. So this request is for different information.
