Teachers will
have full access to all terms and conditions
of the SEST contract prior to committing
themselves to a year (or more) in Taiwan.
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 [and never
less].
- 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).
- There are good internal career
development prospects, with promotion
to Senior Teacher, Assistant Director
of Studies (ADoS) and Director
of Studies (DoS).
- Teachers can also transfer to
other SES schools in Asia (China,
Japan, Vietnam) after contract
completion.
- Average length of stay with
SEST is currently 18 months.

Holidays
- All teachers are entitled to
27 days of annual leave, including
national and school holidays.
- Further holidays may be accrued
under certain circumstances (6th
day worked, lieu days etc.).

Professionalism
- Working in Taiwan requires
teachers to be sensitive to
what the Taiwanese 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.
