ISS SCHROLE contact information

Can someone please post an email address and/or phone number to contact ISS SCHROLE. I'm having problems finding that information online and internet is quite bad at my present location. Thanks very much.

Re: Late start working toward a retirement

Again, that you all.
Should I cross the countries below off my list? I think at my age it's too late and there are too few years for me to work to build up a pension compared to what is offered in Europe.

USA
Canada
UK
Australia
New Zealand

Re: Late start working toward a retirement

Heliotrope, I am liking you more and more. :)

If I do not manage to secure a vacancy in a country that can offer a pension at this stage of my life, presumably a European country, would accepting a 2-year contract in another region of the world to try again two years later be a mistake? Would I be best to try to spend one more year in my current location then try one year from now?

Re: Late start working toward a retirement

Thank you for this valuable information.
Are there countries, especially in Europe, where I need not bother apply due to my age which is 51?

Re: Late start working toward a retirement

Thank you.
Which countries in WE should I seek out schools for the best teacher pension? Is there a ranking of these counties with their pensions for teachers? Would there be a big different between the pensions in the same country between international schools and state schools. I taught in Japan many years ago and enjoyed my time there. I think in general it is a country well suited to the needs of women. If teaching there for 10 years could provide me with a modest pension to live in an inexpensive country I would welcome that opportunity. By the way what is LCSA? Are there countries I should not bother with because I am 51? Would Korea be a good option for me? I'm sorry, many questions. :)

Late start working toward a retirement

I would appreciate some advice.
I'm 51 years old, divorced and my children are grown and out of the house. The divorce has been costly. I'm hoping to work towards a state pension but with the present climate returning to the USA is not an option for me. I have taught in South America, Asia, and Europe. I have a lot of energy but my TAT days are done and I'm looking for that final special place where I can work towards some sort of state pension that I can count on. I'm partial to Asia and warmer climates but would also love to return to safe Europe. If fact I would go to any region of the world to secure something stable. I am even interested in the Middle East.
