It has always been that way...the guys at the top are often the least educated. Instead, they have relied on stealth and cunning. For example a guy named "Tom" (his name he adopted) from Morocco runs the place in Beijing. He has no college degree. And when he took power in about 2008, he got rid of anyone with a Masters or Doctorate right away. (He is over all the Delter Schools) Then he started going after the college graduates. He tries to tell Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, British, Irish and other native speakers how to teach English. They student used to get a 3 year diploma, a legitimate credential in the UK, Hong Kong or China. Since Tom has no degree and never will get a degree, he decided to change diploma to a degree, with only 3 years of studying low level stuff. The guy who held the post prior to Tom was a lawyer from Australia. He was chased out. As I said Tom is very paranoid.
