Is it getting more difficult to find teachers? What do you see in your crystal ball? We asked a group of teacher recruiters for their opinions in a new ajarn survey. What’s the story? 2012-02-22T09:05:16+07:00 http://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/articles/hows-the-thailand-tefl-job-market/ http://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/articles/hows-the-thailand-tefl-job-market/#When:08:34:04Z Ajarn.com asked about thirty recruiters, language school owners, government school hirers and firers, etc for their opinions on the TEFL job market in Thailand. So then - are teacher salaries really going down?

It's a mix of pavilions, gardens, events and activities all nestled into a small valley off the irrigation road around 15km south of the city. A splendid horticultural experience 2012-02-21T13:10:33+07:00 http://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/postbox/race-and-thailand/ http://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/postbox/race-and-thailand/#When:10:54:34Z My husband does not teach but I have heard of many African teachers that have trouble getting jobs. Some school directors have a policy to just not hire blacks (although they won't state this publicly).

And so when a job was recommended to me in town by a guy I trusted, I thought about the fact that it was under two hours away from Koh Samui and I thought about the dreary town filled with wonderful people, and I decided to accept.

I am a person of colour (or coloured) in my country. I do not have a degree in any field - only a diploma. When doing my TEFL course and doing research on the internet, people painted a picture of how easy it would be to find a teaching job in Thailand. This however does not appear to be the case.
