Non-degree holders who are native speakers mostly are unable to land a job in ESL in China these days like in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hongkong, where there is no chance for them at all. As the academic standards for education in China continue to grow, those few places left where non-degree holders are employed in ESL will disappear altogether. It has already happened in the case of Yuncheng ESL.

Employing teenie missionaries or deechers without proper formal training and personality abroad is Third World level. China did this in the initial phase of its modernization process, but as the more recent work visa regulations making a degree one of the formal requirements to apply for it clearly indicate, this initial phase has come to an end.

Basically, native speakers without any proper formal academic education and training have no right to expect to be employed anywhere in ESL, and they should not be, because they lack the proper qualifications and entry requirements for teaching positions in ESL and only contribute to the problems in ESL with its commercial providers so full of cheat and deceit. If China does no longer allow non-degree holders to "teach" there, then this is good for its development as it will keep the country wanker-free, one of the things urgently needed in ESL!

That's not so; I know many degreeless heroes working in China. But whatever the case may be degreeless heroes make superior esl teachers to foreigners with degrees.

There may have been the odd rare problem with teenage Christians interfering with children in Africa. However the biggest threat comes form highly qualified older Christians(the clergy.) This has always been the case for centuries and still is. That's all over the world and not just in Africa.
