相關政策即將出臺 洋外教入職門檻要提高
The State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs is set to release a raft of guidelines designed to ensure that unqualified foreigners are not employed in schools and educational establishments.
國家外國專家局將發佈一系列指導意見，旨在確保學校和教育培訓機構不聘用無資質的外籍人員。Twenty years ago, many English-speaking expats in China applied for teaching jobs because work was easy to come by. Routine inspection of qualifications was almost nonexistent and all most people needed were their mother tongue and an engaging character.
二十年前，許多講英語的外國人在中國申請教學工作，因爲得到這項工作是相對容易的。對相關資格的常規檢驗幾乎是不存在的，多數人只要具備的要求就是他們的母語以及吸引人的性格。The old criteria no longer apply. China is now demanding better-qualified, more-competent English teachers, and by the end of the month the nations top regulator of expat employment is expected to further raise the bar by implementing a tough application policy.
現在，這一舊標準將不再適用。中國現在要求條件更好的、更有能力的英語教師，而在本月底，國家外籍就業最高監管機構有望進一步通過實施強硬政策來提高標準。
"Expats who want a job as an English teacher will have to obtain a teaching certificate in China, just as Chinese teachers do," said Qiu Xusheng, a senior official with the administration.
國家外專局高級官員邱旭升表示：“想從事英語教師工作的外籍人員將和國內教師一樣，必須在我國取得教師資格證書。”"Once we confirm that people have been hired illegally, we will report the facts to the relevant administrative departments, such as the public security department," he added.
他補充道：“一旦認定外籍人員非法就業，我們將上報公安機關等有關行政主管部門。”The new policy has been designed to meet the ever-rising demand for high-quality foreign experts, Qiu said. Although he declined to reveal further details of the upcoming regulations, he said regulators at the provincial and municipal levels will be required to fully implement the new policy.
邱旭升稱，新政策旨在滿足不斷增加的優質外國專家需求。雖然他拒絕透露即將實施的相關規定的更多細節，不過他表示，監管部門將在省級和市級全面落實新政策。Data from the administration show that China currently needs at least 100,000 foreign teachers and the number is expected to rise. That has resulted in a mixture of good, bad and indifferent expats flocking into the teaching market in the country.
國家外專局的數據顯示，目前我國至少需要10萬名外教，且預計這一數字還將繼續上升。這導致了良莠不齊的外籍人員涌入我國教學市場。
