Hmmm.

Getting two versions of the story here.

The teacher is telling he's being required to take the extra training...at his expense...if he wants to enjoy the luxuriant salary and primo shared accommodations he's being offered.

The school is telling us that they are offering the extra training, and reimbursing all but the transport/accommodation expense (which is probably most of the cost anyway...).

I can certainly see a new teacher misunderstanding the bewildering amount of information that can confront him.

And I can definitely see AES trying to niggle a few more piastres out of the teachers who fall within their event horizon.

Which one is happening here?

What was inflicted upon me, and the extreme prejudice with which it was implemented, by the fine, upstanding fellow-Westerners at this company is a matter for another thread and another time.
