 |
|
The Toronto Star reports that nearly half of the 4,000 Nova teachers are Australian.
| Quote: |
| The chain offered classes in conversational English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese. It recruited teachers at university campuses in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, which supplied nearly half its foreign staff. |
A little over 600 teachers were from Canada.
| Quote: |
| ...660 from Canada, are without jobs after Japan's largest school chain, Nova Group, closed its 900 schools and declared bankruptcy yesterday. |

Yup, and with "Working Visas", not one of them were required to have been anywhere past high school!

Working Holiday Visas. Although I have heard NOVA still required two years of post-high school education. |

| I wonder if Nova has plans to re-open under protection, and if so, what kind of difficulties they would have in keeping existing staff, or locating more. It's not exactly like you can pull 4,000 teachers out of a hat on short notice. |

| You can when you stranded 4000 of them on a gaijin island a month ago with only one or two dingy's and a can a' beans between them. |
