Education is a thriving business model and if operated successfully, not only do students learn but Directors can cash in. The hard and fast fact is the demand for private education will always be more than the supply. Therefore for teachers who want to work abroad, the field of private schools to choose from can be very much like a combination of good and bad.
Most international schools server the children of wealthy parents, some or most of which could be expatriates residing in a country that demand for English language education for their children. As more and more international schools open up the competition is becoming more fierce. Areas where many schools are on the increase is in the Middle East and Asia.
In a nutshell here are the pro's and con's of private international schools
Pro's:
Plenty of schools to choose from. Salary package's can be TAX FREE in some locations. Remuneration packages often include accommodation and many other benefits which you would not get as standard in your home country.
Con's:
There is a fine line between providing good education and making sure the substantial profits are made. There are so many trains of thought from various countries that there can be a lot of mismanagement at the top-level which results in some school being run chaotically. It's quite easy to get wrapped up in the politics and air your voice but if you if you stick to your teaching philosophy while learning new ideas with an open mind it can become quite fun. Some Directors push the boat in charging higher fee's simply to increase profits and will consequently avoid or not exclude students that go against any rules and regulations
