I have a question about something - Im about to sign with a new school I am very interested in but when I asked them about pension they said that they provide private insurance and national pension isnt part of that option. What exactly does this mean? The contract says that they go through a certain insurance company but I can choose one if I want - but they still pay half and so do I. Whats going on here? Is this common?

What it means is that they are trying to cheat you out of your rights. They want to save money by not paying into your pension. If they are willing to cheat you from a right that is mandated from the government, than what wuill stop them from screwing you out of other things.

You can always sign on then go to the pension office after your contract to get what is yours, but why go through the hassle. Pension is mandatory for all employees, and by sponsoring you for an E2 visa, you are an employee.
