Vancouver Sun Article: New Rules for Offshore Schools

After the abusive administrators at TTMLIS continuously harassed and threatened several teachers, they were reported to the Chinese Education Bureau, Foreign Affairs Bureau, Labor Bureau, American and Canadian Embassies, the BC ministry of Education, the Teacher Regulation Branch and the Vancouver Sun. Within the two months of their outspoken objections to the working conditions and making people aware of what is really going on at these schools, the BC ministry of Education has made sweeping changes in their policies for offshore schools, which were published this week. They are creating stricter regulations for the schools to abide by so they will be operating more appropriately including: providing safer schools, making the schools more accountable for following human rights laws, making sure they are actually teaching the BC curriculum, and allowing unannounced inspections by the education inspectors at anytime. These changes will improve the quality of education being provided to the students as well as the quality of life for the teachers.

One of the teachers sharing her story was a UBC B.Ed graduate and felt especially strong about sharing her experience, so that other UBC graduates do not find themselves in the same bad situation that she was led into by the Maple Leaf recruiters at last years job fair.
