Hey, I realize that this is a pretty general question (yes, I googled it already, no luck), but I was wondering roughly how many English teachers there are per elementary, middle, and high school in Korea. I'm applying through EPIK and just want to know if I should expect to be the only foreign teacher in my entire school, or if there will be a couple others.

Thanks

you should expect to be the only one.

You will most likely be the only one. I worked in a PS with one other foreigner in my first year, but they were hired separately and not through EPIK. In my current public school I am the only foreign teacher and this is the case for everyone else I know who is working in the public schools system. My first year was a very rare case.
