Thank you for all the information. I was just worried about the process. Because if I need to reapply to stay in the same city then I would need to start getting all the required documents again. But I am in good standing with the teacher and the vice principal just not the new principal (only been working at the school since April) and he doesn't put much importance in English. He has told this to all the English teachers and cut pretty much all funding to the English department (we have like 120,000 or less for the full year).Burt anyway this has been one of the only problems that I have come across in my 2.5 years of teaching at my school. So thanks for all the helpful information. I'll contact Sarah when my school reaches a decision.
I'm not sure where you are getting your information but you are wrong. EPIK has nothing to do with renewals/transfers. It's down to your province/metropolitan office of education. I have twice requested a transfer on the renewal form and both times the request has been granted.
Sadly, his province or school didn't like him. (Sorry to say that.) Hence, why he had to go to another province or location.
Not sure how you were hired but from my experience if you are hired via EPIK, your contract is with the provincial board, not the school. So, you can transfer easily within the province. It's completely up to the province to transfer you. You can request a transfer, but they can deny you one. I've transferred a few times within my province with no problems.You re-apply if you want to change provinces.
Thank you I a Thank you. I am actually in great standing with the school. All my co-teacher are recommending that I change schools. We got a new principal and he keeps asking me to do things that at technically illegal (like teaching grades below 3rd) and I (an my co-teacher) have explained that I can't. Soon after that I was told that the native teacher may be changed from me to another. So I was worried that I would have to completely reapply to EPIK again. But it looks a lot simpler than I thought .
Don't act like you know anything. You don't know. The school and I had a great relationship for several years but with new principal and new CT, they don't know the situation and as usual the case, whenever there is a new principal or CT, changes often follow. We completed the contract. It has nothing to do with our personal differences and relationships.
So for those of you that didn't understand all that ranting. People in EPIK schools in Gyeonggido, are not allowed to transfer to another school in GOE. They took the option out when GEPIK joined EPIK in 2018. I repeat, in GOE, the renewal paper only has two options, continue or quit. That's it. The above poster was right in all they said. It obviously don't apply to all school districts. Also, as far as I remember, SMOE has a similar rule but in their case, they have to be in the same school for 3 (?) years before they can transfer to another school in the same city.
