> Like, teachers are paid 2000-3000PLN

Can you please provide some sources for that claim?

For example [1] says that the lowest, starting salary is already over 3000. And the salaries for teachers grow with work experience.

Family who are teachers - but I guess the bottom of the scale has increased now, that's my mistake.

Also observe how the top of the scale is 64578PLN/year, and according to the article, teachers reach that level in about 20 years on average. So even after working in the profession for 20 years, you don't reach the average wage for your country when working as a teacher.

The "average salary in Poland" you are mentioning is a very specific measurement based on companies that have 10 or more employees. This measures only a subset of workers: in particular, it does not measure the salaries of school teachers. The true average salary in Poland is lower than that.

I suspect that you do reach the average salary as an experienced teacher.
