Hey Jenni, I'm starting in August too in the primary school. I'm waiting for the visa. Do you have yours already and how long does it take?

Almost all teachers I know changed school to another one after one year.
Life in Sharbatly is good.

The only thing I can say about lasting till end of your contract at JKS. Come with an open mind and flexible attitude.

The visa process can take long I think no will get it before end of June because visa only valid for 90 days so you have to travel within this time period. if visa is issued to early so it could lead to problem.

When you say "is experience considered" you mean for the job or for pay scale?
