An expatriate teacher says he and his colleagues have faced malice in the staff room and intransigence by civil servants supposed to help them.
The teacher said many of the problems were with schools, including one where a colleague felt forced to leave her school within a month of starting.
The teacher was brought in directly by the school that employed him. He said said he was better prepared than the teacher who resigned, who had been hired by the Education Department.
However, he and his colleagues still encountered difficulties.
'The [expatriates] are not well received; some teachers will not speak to them, others are rude,' he said.
'The workload is inequitable. One woman was teaching a full eight periods a day plus after-school and on Saturday mornings - no one else does that,' he said.
