Is a degree required to work as an ESL teacher in China?

Hi there. I am soon to complete my TEFL teaching certificate and plan to work in China. I do not have a degree.

There seems to be some mixed informatin about this. Some sites are saying the law has changed and you must hold a degree as proof of academic background. I still see some jobs that don't ask for one, and some places saying that if you are willing to work outside of Beijing, a degree is not needed.

Are you able to clear this up?

Kind Regards
Paul
