UK note: over the last couple of decades there has been a lot of effort to 'raise standards' (contested vocabulary) in teaching over here. Partially pay awards, but also degree only recruitment, only certain kinds of degree accepted for Secondary school subject specialism, staff development requirements &c

Public sector pay and conditions will drop relative to private sector in the UK over the next 10 years or so. If and when the business cycle picks up, you might see the 'quality' (contested vocabulary) drop again.
