The 18 years experience will also have a lot to do with it, because that makes a teacher more expensive, and almost all schools now only consider the cheapest of the cheap. Newly qualified teachers (NQTs) are vastly preferred, and many schools even prefer on the job trainees over them. When I returned to the UK with years of experience teaching overseas, in good schools, those in this country weren't interested in employing be. I'm really good (if not too modest) at teaching maths, further maths, chemistry and physics (yes all of these) at A-level. So given the shortage of STEM teachers schools should be jumping at the opportunity to employ people like me.
