Hello everyone!
Let's talk about new Chinese regulations.
China’s largest private education firms said they will stop providing ESL classes taught by foreign-based tutors to students in the country, in response to a recent government directive aimed at rectifying the $100 billion sector. So, china bans foreign teachers. The new regulations are focused on compulsory subjects, meaning critical material such as math, science and history. But, Are there any opportunities for ESL teachers? Classes for art or music mostly would not fall under the new restrictions.
The regulations also ban teaching foreign curricula, tighten scrutiny over imported English textbooks and forbid the hiring of foreign teachers outside of China — a curb that could have severe consequences for start-ups like VIPKid that specialize in overseas tutors. The government also ordered local authorities to tighten approvals for companies providing training on extra-curricular subjects.
It is ultimately unclear how the government clampdown will turn out. Many believe that Beijing will not seek to annihilate an industry that still plays an essential role in grooming its future workforce.
