Attention to foreigners in China, resolutely say "NO" to illegal foreign teachers!

With the advent of summer vacation, it has become the best choice for many parents in Shenzhen to have their children participate in tutoring classes, with foreign language tutoring classes becoming the first choice. However, tutoring institutions are everywhere, and many are carrying the slogan of "pure foreign teachers" for teaching. The confusion about how to identify "real foreign teachers" with teaching qualifications is a constant headache for parents, as the good and the bad are mixed.

The Exit and Entry Administration Bureau of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau teaches you to choose regular foreign teachers and training institutions: not only do you need to look at "face", but also look at "certificate". Citizens who discover illegal "foreign teachers" can report to the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau.

It is understood that at present, the "black foreign teachers" in China mainly come from foreign teachers' "headhunting", foreign teachers' job search websites, and foreign students. Some foreigners who intend to work as foreign teachers in China first enter China through short-term visas such as study visas and business visas that are relatively easy to obtain, and then are "packaged" by intermediaries and sent to institutions such as kindergartens to teach. After the visa expires, the intermediary will organize foreigners to apply for visa extensions at some Chinese embassies and consulates in foreign countries to continue to maintain the status of being able to work illegally in China.

However, among many kindergartens and training institutions, some employ foreign teachers through intermediary agencies, some find foreign students to teach part-time at universities, and even more, find foreigners who come to China for short-term tourism to "take part-time jobs", making many "black foreign teachers" who have not obtained legal qualifications for foreign teachers appear on the podium, while the phenomenon of employing foreign teachers at intermediary agencies in Shenzhen is relatively common. While many kindergartens or training institutions conduct simple interviews with foreign teachers dispatched by intermediary agencies, they do not strictly review their sources, resumes, etc.

At the same time, as parents of consumers, there is little awareness or opportunity to understand whether the "foreign teachers" hired by kindergartens are illegal workers in China. However, some "black foreign teachers" who illegally work not only have a low level of education and lack teaching ability, but also have serious moral misconduct, posing serious safety risks. Similar cases are not rare.

So, how can parents quickly identify whether the "foreign teacher" in front of them is legal? It mainly depends on whether he holds the following documents at the same time: first, look at the "Foreigner Work Permit", and first, look at whether the "foreign teacher" has a "Foreigner Work Permit" issued by the local science and technology department (or bureau); At the same time, scan the QR code in the lower right corner of the front of the certificate to check whether the identity and job information of the "foreign teacher" are consistent with the actual situation, whether the work unit is consistent with its current unit, whether the work position is "teaching staff", and whether the work position is "teacher". If any of the above information is inconsistent, it is illegal employment.

Second, look at the passport and visa to see if the "foreign teacher" passport is within the validity period, and if there is a residence permit issued by the local exit and entry management department on the passport. Check whether one of the reasons for residence is "work" and within the validity period of the permit. If the reason is not "work" or the permit exceeds the validity period, the holder is an illegally employed "black foreign teacher".

So, what kind of punishment will be imposed on illegally employed "black foreign teachers" once verified? According to Article 80 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry, aliens who illegally engage in employment shall be fined not less than 5000 yuan but not more than 20000 yuan; "If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than 15 days, and shall also be fined not less than 5000 yuan but not more than 20000 yuan.". "Personnel or institutions that introduce illegal employment of foreigners should not assume that they can go unpunished, because Article 80 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry also stipulates that individuals who introduce illegal employment of foreigners are subject to a fine of 5000 yuan for each person illegally introduced, with a total amount not exceeding 50000 yuan."; The unit shall be fined 5000 yuan for each illegal introduction, with a total amount not exceeding 100000 yuan; "If there are illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated.".

In addition, if an institution finds qualified foreigners and wants to hire them as "foreign teachers", it needs to go through legal procedures with the local science and technology department (or bureau) and the entry and exit management department of the public security organ. Incomplete procedures or private use of "foreign teachers" from other institutions are considered illegal employment of foreigners, and once verified, they will also face penalties: Article 80 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China also stipulates that illegal employment of foreigners is subject to a fine of 10000 yuan for each person illegally employed, with a total amount not exceeding 100000 yuan; "If there are illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated.".
