 The
realization that you can't dine out because your school
salary is too small in relation to the local economy
can be, at best, depressing—even more so if you’re
putting in long hot days in overcrowded classrooms
with no air conditioning or wifi and seriously lacking
adequate teaching materials.
On the other hand, many
international educators live like royalty,
perhaps enjoying a maid, a nanny or cook,
a driver, finely furnished housing, comprehensive
health insurance, a complimentary car and
strong savings and travel potential. Yes,
many such schools do still exist in today's
worldwide economic downturn. All you have
to do is find them!
Few schools, however, advertise
their pay package, and recruiting venues
usually release participating schools’ benefit
information mere hours prior to the event.
Many an international teaching candidate
has dropped a school from their prospect
list at the last minute, realizing a dip
into savings would be needed just to make
ends meet at the particular school.
Which schools offer international
educators the opportunity to live in the
style to which we would all like to become
accustomed? Which schools will keep you just
above the poverty level? The Best
& Worst of International School Packages
Blog is the place for International
Educators to share and compare information
on what potential
schools realistically have to offer.
