Nova Corp. teachers and other employees in Tokyo criticized the company Tuesday, saying the troubled chain of foreign-language schools must improve its business not just so it becomes more honest with customers but also for the sake of its workers.
At a news conference, Nova union members also demanded that the firm provide better working conditions for the Osaka-based chain's roughly 5,000 teachers at its branches nationwide. Although teaching English is Nova's mainstay, it also offers lessons in other foreign languages. |

| Nova teachers who are recruited overseas only stay around eight months because they become disillusioned with their jobs, he said, adding this results in poor teaching standards. |

With the best will in the world I really can't see that this warrants a whole new thread. Surely this could have gone in the: Some Questions About Nova and Japan thread.

| "Everyone guns for #1," is a saying I've found too true in my educational experience. Maybe it's not the case for Nova, but it still makes me take all the news I hear about them with a grain of salt. |
