Hello all,

I have taught in Shandong for 2 years and am now looking for a position in the western provinces of Gansu, Xinjiang, Qinghai or Tibet. If any of you folks have any pointers or contacts holler.

Thanks.

YOu can probably wait until the year 2222 to get a job in the so-called "Chinese province of Tibet"...

actually, Lhassa university hires foreign teachers every so often. I know a guy from Australia who just signed a contract there for one year.

I know someone teaching in Tibet too. I've never looked into it myself, but I do know for a fact she's teaching there, and she's from Canada.

I don't think that Roger meant there are no TEFL jobs in Tibet. Rather, he was debunking the OP's notion that Tibet is a 'province'.

Well, I am not accepting Tibet as a "Chinese (sic!) 'province'", to be sure, but in actual point of fact I have until recently been told by people close the the authorities that no foreign national can hope to get a job in Tibet for obvious political reasons.
I distinctly remember responding to a job offer by a NGO maybe 5 years back; they vetted everyone and you could tell by their PC lingo that they were kowtowing to the rulers over Tibet.
Most jobs in TIbetan-inhabited areas were in fact outside the Tibetan A.R.; they usually were in Tibetan districts in Sichuan, Yunnan or Gansu.
For Lhasa I reckon you need to have an iron constitution as the high altitude will no doubt take its toll on your health!
