Hello all,

I am in Saigon for the next 2 weeks conducting a research study on international teachers in Vietnam. The aim of the project is to be able to benchmark Vietnamese expat teachers with similar teachers in other expat communities around the world (of which, we have already studied extensively).

I am hoping to set up interviews with as many international teachers as possible while I am in Vietnam. We will compensate interviewees with some sort of gift certificate (Pho24, Highlands Coffee, Gloria Jean, etc) for their time.

If you are interested in helping us with our study, please send me an email at [email protected] to set up a time. Thank you.

I have created an online version of the survey for convenience:

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and we will be sending $15USD gift certificates to Highlands Coffee for those who complete the survey.

I will be in HCMC for another two weeks and can do the interview over the phone or in-person if that is preferred. Just send me a PM or email me at [email protected] to coordinate.

Here is some more information on my company and the project if you are interested: I work for a global strategy consulting company called The Parthenon Group, based in Boston (www.parthenon.com). One of our core areas of focus is education, and we are especially strong in the international and bilingual school market. We are currently working on a project that aims to benchmark different characteristics of teachers and admins (e.g. split between local and expat, years of experience, average tenure, etc.) for international schools around the world. We have already completed this study for 15 cities including London, Toronto, Dhaka, Lahore, Karachi and several in India and the middle East, and we are now looking at HCMC.

Thank you for your interest![/url]
