I’s just thinking, and this is nothing new. I went to Dominican School over in Da Zhr in the 80s. Dominican is a Roman Catholic School with the head in the Philippines, I think. Anyway, most of the nuns/teachers were Filipina/Filipino. I got used to the accent. And Dominican School was established way before the 80s, so it’s been happening for a long time.
I don’t know how well our teachers got paid, but tuition back in the 80s was $50,00 NTD for a semester, with extras for EVERYTHING (bus, uniform, books, lunch, etc.). I know a lot went to the head church, but our teachers looked pretty well off.
Sorry, off topic, but this thread reminded me that Filipinos teaching in Taiwan is not a new thing. Everything at Dominican School is taught in English.
