That'd be me next year.
My PS will impose mandatory retirement on me when I hit 62 (same like a K-teacher) but I've heard anecdotally of other provinces that let older epiks continue past that. No chance you'd get hired post-60 through standard intakes, but just maybe if you were on the ground at exactly the right time, knew the principal personally, & it'd probably be super-rural!
The private university in my neck of the woods kicks teachers out at 65, but I dont know if thats standard.
My plan is to network myself into a part-time hagwon job. I dont really need the money but I love teaching & I need an E2 sponsor. As far as I know there are no legal impediments to working until you're a 100+ for a private company. Selling them on hiring you, though, would be the huge challenge. Most hagwons strongly favor attractive biddable young'uns. |

Wow, you're the opposite of me.

My district gave a 59 year old a terrible review and didn't renew him (after 5 or 6 consecutive renewals). |

Admittedly, I'm a bit of an odd duck. You pretty much have to be at this age & stage of the game. |

Pre-recession and post recession Korea, perhaps? Once the recession flooded Korea in 2009 and 2010ish, a lot of older teachers had gotten the boot or so it seemed at the time. Some older teachers have crept back in but nothing like it was. Super rural places have kept some of their older teachers but I know of some who left at 60ish. Don't know if it's voluntary or manditory on their part. |
