I'd say that the fact that France is better than OECD average with relatively low teacher pay (though higher than the average salary in the country) seems to indicate that salary isn't everything, on the contrary. The differences regarding immigration to Canada and France might be a far more important factor though.

Higher salary for teachers harm, higher salaries for programmers are common sense measure to attract better quality more passionate programmers.
