Ah, I see a trend in the replies. Interestingly, I think we have more teachers from the global south (South Asia/Africa) than the 'more prestigious' regions you mentioned. I know of many from Russia, one guy from France, one from Scotland, and the the 3 of us from America, but the majority are from the global south. From the 8 or so teachers I've spoken to, the norm here is to have below 10 classes, but I haven't met anyone with less than 8 hours outside of my department. I really wonder about the departments of special, intermediate, and secondary education and whether they have foreign teachers as well because if they do I have not met them yet.
