school cbis: The teachers from the former South Korean Canada B.C. International School CBIS left Korea in May after being ordered out of the country by South Korean immigration officials because they had the wrong visas for the kind of licenses their schools were operating under, according to Vancouver Observer. They say they're trying to create positive reform so the offshore program can be successful and ensure teachers and students have stronger protections from owners and operators who don't follow the rules. After pleading for help from the B.C. government for months through the spring, a group of B.C.-certified teachers who were ordered to leave South Korea, where they worked at a B.C. Ministry of Education-certified offshore school, have some harsh words for the outgoing government and advice for the new one on how to clean up that mess. After the teachers were kicked out of the country in May, the B.C. Ministry of Education posted an update on its website in early June saying it's placed all B.C. offshore schools in South Korea on probation as a result of the ongoing review of E2 teacher visas by the South Korean immigration department adding that the South Korean immigration department has decided to issue departure orders to teachers holding E2 visas from three B.C. offshore schools. The former CBIS teachers who were the first group to be told to leave Korea for having the wrong visas say they're providing support to teachers who remain there, but are facing orders to leave, by sharing their own experiences, providing them with documents to help them navigate the immigration process, contact information, how to prepare for leaving the country and a messaging service to stay connected with the expelled CBIS teachers. The ministry is advising teachers not to take jobs at B.C.-certified offshore schools in South Korea until it completes a review.
