Non native English teachers with B.ed's

[Eddy B]

I just recently went through the ajarn website and was surprised to see how many non native speakers of English from Africa, mainly Cameroon seem to have B.ed degrees. They are usually always men and in the late 20's or early 30's. Is there now a shortage of teachers and teaching positions back in their home country or are do they really have a true B.ed degree?? I am just wondering and call me suspicious but it seems very strange. Most of the other teachers especially native speakers have degrees but not specific for education. It smells fishy to me.

I've seen quite a few of these "degrees", almost all made at the same university in Buea ( sorry if misspelled) signed by the same German sounding Professor.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a good business idea by some Thais, as a Thai woman from Surin brings a few of them to schools to get them a job.

Wrong dates, spelling,etc on their "degree" is the norm.

The only problem is that most of them can't communicate in English.Pretty much similar to some Asian teachers here. How can you teach a language maan, if you can't speak it properly, maan?

Yes, it smells damned fishy here, and I'm not jealous.

If they're all real, I'll eat my cat with papaya salad. Hope everyding's Eiree.

As we have seen from the first reply, this is topic is going to be nothing more than a troll topic with racial overtones.
