That is what the old government "wants," yes. The new president however is more "foreigner friendly," and will most likely reverse this, (as well as loosen the proposed/already implemented visa regs) according to my lawyer friend's opinion.
Also, if they were to proceed with the old plan, they'd still need a mac-daddy load of crackers to train those Korean teacher's to teach in their respective fields. A huge task in and of itself. 40-50 year olds don't tend to learn in a hurry.  |
Very positive spin there, jimbo.
One thing is for certain, though, and that is if the Philippines and India are successful in getting their nations added to the list of "approved" nations for Korea (I think it's a done deal) to recruit English teachers, the demographics and salaries of the the foreign English teachers in Korea are about to change radically.
