Embassy School New Delhi

AES is still looking for 5 or 6 teachers.

When I was an international teacher, AES was a top school that always filled every vacant position early.

Has the school gone downhill or is it India or New Delhi?

They have had a difficult time getting visas.

Basically, the Indian gov. is punishing them because the US arrested a diplomat for visa fraud.

I was there a couple weeks ago...

The pollution was unbelievable!! Everyone was wearing masks... Not good.

Mike,

I was there on Christmas vacation 5 years ago and the air was ok. I guess that is the way all of Asia and Central Asia seem to be going.

So bad.... one morning the index was at 450!

Much worse than China.

And it's a shame, great school... nice kids, cool campus.... awesome staff.

When we started out 25 years ago I would have killed to go there.

If the AQI was 450 in Delhi, that's not worse than China. When I lived in Beijing 4 years ago, the AQI would routinely exceed that for many days in a row. We had a few days that went above 650.
