With Finland offering a strong job market for teachers, many consider moving abroad, where salary plays a key role in their decision-making. Attractive international opportunities often come with enticing packages that include a salary, accommodation, health insurance, potential school allowances for children, and annual travel costs. Plus, salaries are frequently tax-free, with the school handling the tax payments.
