On the Teachers Forum there are some interesting horror stories.

ICT has gone belly up, stranding 18 students.

Global Education Corporationappears to be in trouble.

Another I can't recall or find the name, a training organisation in South America I think has also gone belly up.

I wonder what if any is the common cause?

More competition from universities? Bad managment?
I am really curious

Possibly the fear of "terrorism" is making people less willing to travel and teach EFL? Just a thought.

Hmm interesting thought.

Could you be suggesting we need a ESL counter terrorist force to hit back and make an example of those pesky terrorist.

OK, back to the original point of this topic.

Any other suggestions as to why so many are goign to the wall at the sam time?

Once and Again raised a very good point, just curious of any other factors? Supply and Demand of ESL teachers?
Reduction in demand for ESL teachers due to increase in English media ?

Ok , I am now bored, someone please lven thi thread up.

Chris
