Teaching Jobs for Older People

Is it true that teaching positions in Taiwan almost always goes to people in the 20’s and 30’s? I am an American in my mid-50’s and thinking about retiring early and moving to Taiwan. I would want to work for a few years until my 401k kicks in. I have BBA in Information Systems and have worked 30 years programming computers. Do the teaching schools in Taiwan hire older teachers? Is there a mandatory retirement age in Taiwan?

Article 20 of Act Governing Retirement, Severance, and Bereavement Compensation for the Teaching and Other Staff Members of Public Schools and Article 54 of Labor Standards Act may give an answer to your question. No, in private sector Yes Gold card?

Assuming you’re working at a public school. The Article 20 says you have to retire if you have worked for 5 years AND you are 65. So, it sounds you may renew your contract if you and school want.
