Editor’s note

The Hire Wire exists because TEFL job hunting runs on rumour. Half the internet will tell you Spain is always open and Dubai pays everyone a fortune, and neither is true. So we went to the sources: ministry circulars, embassy notices and the programme pages themselves, and we print what they actually say, with the date we checked it. If a line on this page is wrong, we correct it in place and say so. That is the whole editorial policy.
