To ensure objectivity and transparency in the promotion consideration, the school's Board of Directors established a Council to organize the review, established a promotion review team and held many public meetings with staff and teachers in the school. All questions and recommendations from teachers were answered and resolved publicly. Comparing the regulations and instructions, the school created a spreadsheet and sent it to each teacher so that everyone could self-evaluate, comment, declare their training level, working time, age, achievements, etc. Up to now, the teachers considered for promotion all agree with the Board of Directors' approach.
