 Teaching English in the Czech Republic
"In the years that have elapsed since the Velvet Revolution of 1989, Western-backed language schools have been joined by many private schools run by locals in both the Czech and Slovak republics. While there seems to be an equal demand for English in both republics, the majority of TEFL teachers tend to gravitate to the Czech Republic, partly because there are more established language schools in Prague than Bratislava, most of the servicing the business community.
Unless you have a recognized TEFL qualification, it remains very difficult to obtain employment in the Czech capital because of the competition from other foreigners. The acceptance of both republics into the European Union in 2004 means that British and Irish passport-holders have an advantage in the job hunt. Qualified EFL teachers are being recruited to teach in primary and secondary schools, usually on a 1-year contract with low-cost or free accommodations and a gross salary of 13,000-18,000 crowns (about $575-$800) per month. The centralized contact is the Academic Information Agency (AIA) in Prague, part of the Ministry of Education. The AIA simply acts as a go-between, circulating resumés and applications from graduates form the US, Canada and other English-speaking countries to state schools, which then contact applicants directly. Its web site includes updated school vacancies with contact details, mainly in the spring and summer for a September start date." —Susan Griffith reports in Jobs Teaching English in Central and Eastern Europe.
