Could China Ever Ban Black People From Teaching In China?

[MangoESL]

China wont block people based on skin colour. I also doubt Germans and Finnish people have been banned from teaching in China. I think you'll find that a foreigner can only teach their native language. So if they were to teach German and Finnish respectively, they'd be fine. However, if they wish to teach English, they're out of luck.

 

If a Chinese person can do a job, they don't want a foreigners doing it.

• A Chinese person can't be a native English speaker.

• A Chinese person can be a non-native English speaker.

 

@Pianote If you're from one of the countries below you should be fine. As for your age question, if you're under 60 there's not much to worry about. Nationality + Bachelor+ + (2 years XP or relevant degree or master's degree)

So only African countries where English is the official language are banned. Even Guyana made it. Hilarious.

Singapore but not Malaysia's a bit curious.

It's not going to be just based on language spoken. I don't know what the full range of factors are, but how often people from a certain country have overstayed or been found to be otherwise problematic will be issues.

@Hayden05

 

That's the list of nationalities that are allowed to teach English, not a list of countries that are banned.

[roddy]

Actually that does look a lot like a 'no Africans, thanks' list. Apart from South Africa I don't think there are any of the English-speaking African nations.

I am not aware of the educational system in African countries that use English as a national language.

Do they have 100% taught in English primary schools? what about secondary schools and universities?
Do they have English language kindergartens?

In short, do they have the kind of English language schools that are equivalent to the Mandarin language schools in China, in order to produce "native speakers"?

[roddy]

Actually the UK government's list of countries where a degree exempts you from English language requirements is even shorter
