Re: Teacher pay: Germany vs Taiwan

It's totally different. The geography, customs, pay, opportunities, visa rules, qualifications and so forth are totally different.

Eg:
  • Taiwan is a tiny country compared to Germany
  • Taiwanese parents prefer their kids to learn from "white" caucasian faces.
  • Taiwan offers an ARC (work permit) to native English teachers with a university degree. However in Germany, schools are mainly looking for those with a European passport.
  • Schooling system and demand ratio for English teachers is vastly different.
You can't really compare as they are totally different countries.
