[QUOTE=naemlo;14738406]I have been in education sector before.... open dark secret in these schools, most "low standard" school will market themselves well but in academic, employ any white from England, USA, Aust on the local street. They dun have the right qualification but just because their native language is English, they are employed to teach English. Another factor is cheap... cause there many on the street looking for teaching as a job. USD 1200-1500 can get u a teacher from UK. A lot of other dark secrets.
Google and u can find a lot of western in Asia teaching English
For Asian, if u dun have the right qualification, it is almost nil for u to be employed as English teacher. A school will rather employs a white than an Asian for this subject. Just like school is more willing to employ a PRC to teach Chinese than an ang mo.
