What is AITECE?

     The Association for International Teaching, Educational and Curriculum Exchange (AITECE Ltd) is an independent, non-profit organisation which sponsors foreign teachers and experts wishing to work in China. It likewise facilitates Chinese educational institutes recruiting foreign teachers and experts.

    Its goal is to contribute to the modernisation of China, especially through the exchange of personnel, and to promote international understanding and friendship. 

      AITECE is based in Hong Kong and has national offices in Europe, North America, Australia and South-East Asia. 

       Since it was founded in 1988, it has sponsored over two hundred and fifty foreign teachers and experts. They have worked in over thirty institutes in eleven provinces or major cities of China. AITECE is also interested in sponsoring experts with other skills needed in China and is in the process of developing the necessary contacts.
 

 AITECE offers teachers and experts the following services:
                       --- placement in recommended Chinese institutes,
                       --- orientation before taking up their placements,
                       ---  assistance during their term of service in China  through mediation  with the institute authorities and advice on practical problems,
                       --- the support of like-minded people involved in similar work.

 AITECE provides educational institutes in developing areas of China with:
                       --- foreign teachers or experts to meet their academic needs,
                       --- pre-arrival screening and orientation for the teachers/experts,
                       --- an on-going mediating role with the teachers/experts. 

        Contact with both parties is maintained  through annual visits, post, e-mail and telephone.
 

        AITECE is registered as a non-profit organisation in Hong Kong and with the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs in Beijing. It offers its services free to both the teacher/expert and the educational institute. Since the teacher/expert's contract is with their  institute, AITECE, while wishing to be of service to both teacher/expert and institute  has no contractual obligations toward either party.
