(19-28k on the main pay scale, up to 42k if you have all the management and SEN points - I think most of the teachers in my two schools are up at that end of the range).
(24-37k on the lecturer A/B scale, up to 41k with discretionary points)
That looks roughly equivalent, until you consider that a teacher could well be earning at the top of their pay scale at the age of thirty (there's a rule of thumb that if you haven't become a deputy head by 35, you're not going to make it), while an academic has perhaps been in a permanent post for a couple of years and is near the bottom of that scale. I know what the teaching staff are paid at two small special schools, and the majority of them are paid perhaps 5-10k more than university lecturers of the same age.
