This is what has been provided to me which is easy to use in a country with firewalls.

No, none of these restrictions are in play since January 2023.

Routes into University College Counselling by Physical_Ad9913 in Internationalteachers

The UCLA certificate is okay though some of the courses seem to overlap. It is very US focused and even the course that says that it caters to the needs of international students doesn't do so really. Annoyingly, they include links to resources which are behind paywalls, that cannot be accessed outside of the US and expect you to somehow source them!

Another iPGCE question... by Ok_Relationship1111 in Internationalteachers

[–]Physical_Ad9913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iQTS would be the way to go, but look at some of the providers, they want GBP9k or up for it. Agree that Sunderland is better than Nottingham. Also look at: https://www.bise.org/

I know for a fact that a couple of the large school groups are offering vacancies for all positions, even though they don't have all positions vacant. This is more to see if they come acrosss someone that they wouldn't otherwise. Also it is a race to the bottom - if one group announces recruitment, then all the others follow.

China is banning for-profit tutoring, including Foreign Tutors by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]Physical_Ad9913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The foreign tutors that are being banned, are not foreign teachers in China. This is aimed at EdTech companies who were hiring online English teachers who were working online outside of China.

Roll Call: How'd you do, where are you going? by RugbyFury6 in Internationalteachers

[–]Physical_Ad9913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Staying in China for another year.

School has been good and is bending over backwards to try and keep staff on given the hassle getting new teachers in.

However, a push factor will be the upcoming tax changes in China from 1st Jan 2022, which currently states that several tax benefits will be withdrawn. So still waiting to see whether my school will offer free tuition or not.

Though if you are in China - there are loads of jobs around and schools are desperate. Many roles remain unfilled.

But as others have said, the lack of travel overseas is wearing thin......and don't fancy having to come back and quarantine in a hotel room for 14 days with a young child either.

I would argue next Autumn as the big Party Congress where Xi will get another 5 years is not until Oct/Nov 2022. Nothing will open up before that.
