Thus, programmes like the Teacher Salary Boost (Ldrarldnelyftet) could ameliorate the current teacher shortage in Sweden, but they also raise some concerns about equity among teachers. The programme aims to increase wages for up to 60 000 teachers per year, selected by the municipality or independent school provider based on a certain number of requirements. Additionally, Statskontoret found that the Teacher Salary Boost is linked to an imbalance in motivation, some principals reported that motivation increased among the teachers who received pay increases while it decreased among those who did not get pay raises. One reason could be that the financial contributions could create a perceived injustice.
