Although teachers in the Balearic Islands are among those who work the fewest hours in Spain—38 hours per week in secondary education and 35 hours in primary education, the lowest level among all the autonomous communities studied (Asturias, La Rioja, Cantabria, Andalusia, the Valencian Community, the Canary Islands, and Catalonia)—they are also among those who dedicate the most time to tasks, according to the TALIS 2024 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), presented this week. This paradox highlights the pressure Balearic teachers are under, especially in comparison with other autonomous communities and the European average. The national average is 40 and 38 hours, respectively, while the EU and OECD only provide data for secondary education: 39 and 41 hours per week, respectively.
