| Teachers will have full access
to all terms and conditions of the SESC contract
prior to committing themselves to a year (or more)
in China. It is vital that the teacher reads all
the documents provided BEFORE making a commitment.
Length of Stay
- All initial contracts are for a period of
12 months.
- Subject to the agreement of both parties,
contracts are renewable at the end of that period.
- Teachers must complete their first year contract,
thereafter three months' notice is required
(so a teacher does not have to stay for the
entire duration of second year and subsequent
contracts).
- As new franchise schools open, there are excellent
internal career development prospects, with
promotion to Senior Teacher, ADOS and DOS.
- Teachers can also transfer to other SES schools
in Asia (Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam) after contract
completion.
- Average length of stay with SESC is currently
12 months
Holidays
- All teachers are entitled to 22 paid days
of annual leave.
- Shane English School has periods of holiday
in the months of May, October, February (Chinese
New Year).
- Further holidays may be accrued under certain
circumstances (6th day worked, lieu days etc.).
Professionalism
- Working in China requires teachers to be sensitive
to what the Chinese consider ‘Professional
Appearance’. There is, therefore, a strict
dress code for teachers at all schools.
- Male teachers are expected to wear a shirt
and tie with formal trousers (never jeans) and
shoes and be clean-shaven, while female teachers
need to wear clothes suitable for an office
or business situation i.e. a blouse with a skirt
or trousers, or a formal dress.
- Punctuality and good time management essential.
