As of now any one who was hired as an E.P.I.K. teacher and is currently
working in Gyeonggi do will no longer be contracting with the Suwon office of education. You will be given the opportunity to join your local school . |

GEPIK is the elementary school version of EPIK.
EPIK was actually once called Koretta |

The new contract specifically says that weekends Saturday and Sunday won't count as vacation days. The Old EPIK contract was intentionally vague on that point and 99.9 % of supervisers thought 14 working days ment two weeks |

Isn't GEPIK, basically like EPIK but for schools in Gyeonggi province?
EPIK is all schools in Korea that do not have special designation by district right?
So it doesn't include Seoul, Gangnam, Kungnam, etc.

GEPIK= Elementary schools
EPIK=Middle schools
EPIK was phased out of Seoul when it used to be called Koretta. Basically
public schools hire teachers either directly or through a head hunters.
In the good old days Epik was really just a headhunter that worked in the Korean Embassys around the world |

False.
I am in a Gyeonggi-do middle school and am with GEPIK. I know people in Gyeonggi-do High schools and they are with GEPIK.
