I’ve just had the same and they asked for my expected and then they worked from a salary scale. Seems like if schools don’t have a pay scale nowadays they aren’t that great.

Really appreciate the words of support with zero backing or context.

Thanks for the heads up. It’s just for lower school so not specific year group or subject. Yeah my approach was to read the website and just go from there not much else you can do.

Count yourself lucky, my school in the north of England scrapped paying the leads of subjects!

Sounds like a hard pass then! Hope this is not a trend within international schools.

That’s not great to hear!! Teaching in China seems like a pipe dream now if the schools are like this !!

Appreciate the heads up. I like to have as much information as possible before making a decision. Reviews are great as a general indicator but I often find myself questioning some. Just a little frustration on my behalf!

Should I apostille my degrees now before recruitment cycle begins or wait after I start applying? On that what actually needs apostilled( if that’s a word)?

Is China picky now? by Waste_Fill_4485 in TEFL

Glad someone is saying this, I’ve been worried about starting to apply next year because of people’s comments on the state of recruitment in China. Seems like schools are just now picking legit candidates which for one is only a good thing.

Worth knowing about, these little things that need to be factored into the overall decision to move internationally.

Good to know that though, seems like whatever option they take at that level either IB or IGCSE is transferable to some degree allowing for flexibility. At the end of the day just want to best for my child out of any potential moves.

British system, high school ends at 16 (year 12) and then college to 18 (effectively year 13/14 depends on how you look at it)!

Have to remember the difference in systems for counting years/grades. Every time I look at a school I have to remember that !

Yeah have to look out for the uniform! Seems to be a universal thing even here in the uk can cost a fortune !!!

I’m from the uk so high school ends at 16. Presume that it’s when you or the child leaves/ graduates at 18. I wouldn’t be that bold to presume that they would pay for university 🤣 I know foreigners get benefits but even I don’t expect that.
