The teacher needs to purchase a return air fare (economic class) before leaving for Shanghai. For this 10-month contract, a return air ticket of up to RMB8,000 will be reimbursed: one half of the fare will be reimbursed on his/her arrival at the school and upon his/her presentation of the invoice for the airfare. The other half will be paid at the end of the teaching period subject to successful completion by the teacher of the requirements of the contract.
The teacher will be met at Shanghai International Airport and transported to the School by School staff.
The School provides the teacher with their own rent-free accommodation on campus for the contract period. Accommodation consists of a bedroom with basic furniture and a private bathroom. The teacher is responsible for his/her own board arrangements (food, laundry etc), private long distance calls and private use of Internet. A personal computer with internet facility and a washing machine are provided at the apartment. There is a School cafeteria. Other cafeterias and restaurants are located in the vicinity of the School. It is cheap to eat out.
The monthly salary is between RMB8,000 and RMB10,000 depending on experience and qualifications. The salary will be paid monthly in the local currency (know as “RMB” or “Yuan”). The English equivalent are roughly between £800 and £1,000 monthly. However, the cost of living is much lower in China and these sums (especially with the added benefit of free accommodation) will enable the teacher to have a very comfortable lifestyle.
These salaries are well above the average wage in China. The status and lifestyle of a foreign teacher in China would be higher than that of an English teacher in England.
The School will purchase medical insurance for the teacher. However, teachers should consider their own insurance needs and seek appropriate advice.
Generally around 22 hours per week of in-class teaching. The teacher will not be required to teach on national public holidays. In addition to national public holidays, the School will provide the teacher with winter vacation salary (which is about 3 weeks) if the teacher signs one academic contract.
Generally textbooks are selected by the School as appropriate for the course but the programme is progressive and will include some flexibility.
Teachers are recommended for appointment by ASEC but they will each sign a contract directly with the School. This will be done before the teacher comes to Chiba.
Teachers will be responsible for ensuring they meet all passport, visa and medical requirements currently in force and complying with all customs and legal requirements. This leaflet is a General Information Leaflet only and is subject to contract (i.e. to the specific contract between the School and the Teacher).

It is up to the Teacher to seek any professional advice he/she requires, as ASEC cannot undertake any legal obligation to the teacher for advice, for the statements herein in this leaflet, or otherwise.
