At a low level
Hi
A woman who is a teacher in England says that at the school she works she's paid the salary for graduates at a low level.
I suppose that "low level" doesn't refer to the graduates, but probably to her experience as a teacher. Is here some teacher from England who could make it clear to me?

Newguest graduates at a low level I'm not from England, but I understand "graduates at a low level" to mean graduates with Bachelor's degrees. (people who graduated at a low level - that is, NOT "advanced degrees") It might even apply to people with "Associate" degrees - that is, not degrees.

Clive I wonder if the phrase 'at a low level' refers more to 'the salary' than to the type of degree.Good question.
Thanks.

CliveIf the phrase refers to the type of degree, I'd expectHmmm. And what would you expect if the phrase refers to 'the type of salary'?
eg . . . she's paid the salary for people with a bachelor's degree.
I agree that the sentence is poorly worded.

Maybe 'She's paid the low salary that all gradutes get in this cheapskate school'.
