 2020-2021 School Start-up Plan
关于2020-2021学年开学计划


As of August 24th, 2020, the border toChina has not been opened to our foreign staff who are currently abroad. Wehave over 30 foreign teachers currently outside of China in various countries;such as Canada, America, Australia, U.K, Nigeria, South Africa, Jamaica, and Zimbabwe.These teachers are desperate to return to China and teach and interact withyour children. As a school system, we are exploring every avenue to get ourteachers back as quickly as possible.
截止到2020年8月24日为止，中国边境仍没有对外国公民打开。目前，我校有超过30名外教仍滞留在世界各国，例如：加拿大，美国，澳大利亚，英国，尼日利亚，南非，牙买加和津巴布韦等。这些外教都急切地盼望可以尽快回到中国工作。枫叶教育集团正在寻求一切可行的途径，尽最大的努力争取让外教老师早日返岗。
Recently we have received letters of invitation forall returning and most new teachers, which will allow them to gain access toChina sooner than other foreigners. However, the process to acquire a visa,flight, and then deal with a mandatory quarantine will take time. We anticipatesome teachers will begin to return to the classroom after one month.
最近，我校已收到了大多数境外外教的特批入境邀请函，这些外教现已可以着手办理入境中国的相关手续。考虑到整个流程包括申请签证，预订机票和两周的隔离，我们预计这批外教将在一个月之后到岗。
Currently in Tianjin TEDA, there are 15 staffavailable to support the teaching and learning of students in the BC and WorldSchool programs. To effectively deliver the BC program during this difficulttime, the following plans have been established.
