Taipei European School...any information?

Post by ptf »

Just wondering if any one has any information on this school. There is only one review submitted and it just has the boxes filled in without any comments so doesn't really help.

I'm also after information on Seisen school in Tokyo and I'll post this as a different topic but if you happen to know both schools please feel free to comment.

There's a posting about the school on the TES forum - under the heading 'What's the crack in Taipei?' Do a search.
Not having worked at this school, I can't say - but I have worked in Taipei and heard some inklings that staff are worked REALLY hard with little thanks. Plus they get OFSTED inspections every two years which adds to the stress (British government inspections).
Think there's been a few problems, especially in the lack of care about staff morale which is not good - unhappy staff has resulted in many excellent staff leaving this year, but think the overall package is good and there are a number of staff who've been there a long time, so it can't all be too bad. The American school is the one whose package is much better.
American school got a 15/16% pay rise for next year - think the European school got a 2/3% pay rise.
But again, this is only hearsay.

Thanks for telling me about that. I've never looked at the TES website before so I'm off to check it out now.
