for the record

To whoever came here via this google search, and to all others who may be thinking of coming to Beijing to work as a teacher: Yes, you do need at least a bachelor’s degree to legally work as a foreign teacher in China. Beijing does enforce this regulation. Diplomas and certificates are not enough. If you do not have at least a bachelor’s degree, then please do not even consider seeking work as a teacher in Beijing as you’re only wasting your time.

  1. Same probably goes for all the big cities, although it’s probably still easy enough to get a job without a degree out in the provinces.
