Taiwan is a beautiful and welcoming island, with a diverse natural landscape, rich culture and heritage, friendly people, world-renowned cuisine and exceptional transport links. Education and language-learning are regarded extremely highly, reflected in the high quality of teaching and the good reputation of schools and universities in Taiwan. As such, the FET programme represents a superb opportunity for teachers searching for new and rewarding experiences.
To be eligible for the programme, applicants must be in possession of an undergraduate degree or higher from a recognised institution, be a certified teacher with at least one year's experience teaching at a public government school (or a registered private school within Taiwan) and have no criminal record.
