They are a culture institute only because they can't qualify to get permission to be a real 'school.' Hmmmmmm. Wonder why? Rolling Eyes Sad

But it might be a good place for you anyways.

Jen,

Thanks for your quick answer. I do appreciate it.

"They are a culture institute only because they can't qualify to get permission to be a real 'school.' Hmmmmmm. Wonder why?"

What exactly did you mean by "real school?" Do you mean they're illegal in some way? I've never worked in China before so I'm not sure what you mean. Their salary seems reasonable and the contract looks good. Initially, I had good vibes.

Looking forward to your reply.

I'm confused too. Does this mean EF, Wall St. etc. ARE "real schools"?
If so, the mind boggles.
Perhaps Jen could provide a list of schools that qualify; international schools aside.
Sadebugo, take care. A typo immediately gets you categorised around here, as does where you live, your nationality, age, and gender.

I bet it's a business visa and you are illegal in Shanghai.


You mean you're not?!?!

You must be the 'one' that everyone keeps talking about...
