China Government Bans Foreign Teachers & Curriculum

Well the pot of international tensions has finally boiled over and now no foreign educational brands (EF, Disney, Pearson, Webb, etc) can teach anything for profit using foreign teachers. Some 30,000 foreign TEFL and subject teachers are now unemployed unless they agreed to work for the low pay offered by China's public schools and universities and are willing to learn Chinese! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... n-teachers
Before sending off your resume or passport scan, be sure to check https://reddit.com/r/teflscams and to vaccinate yourself against foreign teacher job scams.

From what I understand this new law only pertains to the foreign school chains (like Disney, EF, Wall Street, etc and all the private and online tutors) The illegal Chinese schools are still hiring foreigners if you are willing to risk getting arrested, jailed and deported.
The best TEFL advice I ever got is at https://reddit.com/r/tefl_tips_traps_scams and right here at TEFL.net.

As the salaries start falling the mass exodus has begun in China. Most of my colleagues have already found jobs in Korea, Argentina, and Dubai because of this China ban. The supply of TEFL teachers now far exceeds the demand folks.
Watch your step in China. There is a pile of shit waiting for your foot around every corner that only laowai seem to step in. See https://reddit.com/r/workabroadfraud.

I am not surprised after 10 years of using fake teachers to defraud all the parents of China. I am glad to see all fraud being vacuumed away so Chinese kids can get a real education.
I suggest every TEFL teacher take a visit to https://reddit.com/r/TEFLscams BEFORE they send off their resumes.
