| Will public school salaries for English teachers go down with students being afforded one more Saturday off pre month and with them being afforded yet another Saturday off a month next year? |

| Most public school teachers don't work Saturdays, so there will be no change. |

Why would they? Our contracts (at least for GEPIK) state we don't work on Saturdays or Sundays or holidays. We are paid for the work we do between M-F. We don't work on Saturdays, nor do we get paid for them. |

Yes, but won't they require more time with other classes besides English since they don't have that extra time anymore on Saturdays? |

| Most schools will just make the day longer. I come in for saturday CA classes which are fun and I get more time off during holidays. |

Saturday is typically a half-day. |

Not sure about the upper grades, but I know most elementary schools finish at lunch time on Wednesdays- easy enough to just add afternoon classes there |

Actually there is another thread which states they may be increasing salaries (I'll PM you with the link if I can find it)
But seriously they can't find enough teachers as it is. Most teachers here would rather work 30 hours a week at a hakwon than 40 hours at a public school even if the working conditions are not as good. They've already cut vacation down to 14 days (officially anyway  ) if they start cutting salary, more teachers will leave, myself included.
They'd be cutting their own throats. |

I know a guy who left his school because they cut the vacation to the "Kyonngi required" 2 weeks, and would only offer 1 month of "off the books" vacation. They begged him to stay, but he left because the school wouldn't budge, and neither would he.
Fast-Forward to two months later. The school couldn't get a teacher to sign. The contract was just too vanilla, and looked like everything else out there. In the end, they had to offer the new teacher a contract with a guarenteed 2 months of vacation before he'd sign.
Apparently the Kyonngi requirement wasn't as required as was being stated. Many of us suspected this.
I think that this rule is going by the wayside, as many schools just can't get anyone to sign. I have noticed this in some of the job offers, as well. |

I'm not talking about anything immediate. |
